Traditional Nigerian Dance
Nigerian dance is a subset of the African dance culture. It is very dynamic,
rich and magnetic phenomenon. It is not easy to classify all Nigerian
dances. Music and dance are part of life of every Nigerian native from
cradle to grave. The day you are born is celebrated and so is the day you
die. We can safely conclude that the rhythms and dance steps of modern
dances are products of African music and dance. There are different types of
dances. From acrobatic dance groups that are available for feature
performances, workshops, festivals, and dance lessons to dances that perform
during mourning.
It is extraordinary aesthetic and adventurous to see native Nigerians
perform their dances. Their dance steps and gestures are agile, graceful,
admirable, and elegant. They are distinguished by unrivalled charm and
harmony in the lines of both torso and limbs. The dance steps are
coordinated and integrated art of movement which is controlled by the rhythm
of music. Nigerian traditional dance tends to express situations, emotions,
sentiments, and beliefs. Each particular dance has a linkage to human
activity. It is a manifestation of human existence. In most regions of
Nigeria, dances signify important occasion in the community, such as birth,
harvest, thanksgiving, success, etc. Every experience in the culture is
translated into music and dance. Dancing is a major source of entertainment
in traditional Nigerian society.
The type and style of dance movements are dependent on the musical
instruments. Traditional Nigerian dance troupes mostly utilize indigenous
musical instruments. Drums, African talking drums, flute, Shekele, Picolo
etc. are common musical instruments. Other modern musical instruments are
also common. Traditional Nigerian music has made significant contributions
to modern music. Music and dance remain the soul of Nigerian culture.
