Ahidus (inTifinaght: ⴰⵃⵉⴷⵓⵙ), also sometimes called ahidous, haidous, tahidoust or hidoussi, is a style of collective performance in Morocco and Algeria. It is the traditional dance in many Berber tribes and is known to be the favorite entertainment of these tribes. [1]
In the traditional Ahidus performance, singers and dancers with the men and women standing alternately shoulder to shoulder form a large circle or in two facing lines. [2] The man who accompany and direct the dancers stands in the center. [1] The performance includes other key people such as singer-poet (orammessadinBerber), assisting singers and drummers. [1]
The origins of Ahidus are not very known because of the lack of extensive research studies and investigations. However, Ahidus is believed to find its origin in the Berber tribe of Zenata. [3]
