The music industry is a very big space for anything fun and exciting. From sweet songs that we sing to lyrics that make us want to go crazy or offline. Checkout (7) dance trends that flare up the spark at any Nigerian party.
♥ Alanta : Everybody loves to dance alanta – school children, office workers, and even business CEOs. The style involves bending your hands and carrying one leg up at the same time. Thumbs up to Terry G for making this possible.
♥ Shakiti Bobo is a Nigerian dance named after the viral song from 2015. One time when Ciara came to Nigeria, she saw a pro-dancer doing the shakiti bobo , and she loved it so much that she asked them to teach her.
♥ Shoki is the dance that has become rampant at many owambe parties today. There's a funny story behind the shoki dance, some say it was borrowed from the way beggars do when asking for alms. Lol! Almost true though. Yeah really
♥ Dab is a new school type of dance that many of us Africans adopted from abroad. In Naija, it was the afro hip-hop lads that commercialised the dab . Moreover you can dab to anything! Ask a Nigerian, they'll show you how.
♥ Zombie Walk This is Abami Eda (Fela's) signature move. For a man whose music was so empowering, Fela sure did know how to catch a few trips while at it. The zombie walk will always go perfectly with Fela's Afrobeat sound.
♥ Azonto The azonto dance used to be quite a big deal. It originated from a traditional dance called 'Kpanlogo' but was however made popular by Ghanaian artiste, FuseODG. The azonto is so good, it still has the potency to rock a party.
♥ Galala was, and still is the dance for champions. Although it was popularized by street locals, galala actually is a gyration dance. So if you kill your show, if alert enter, if you pass your exam or you get a new job, you should dance
galala .
Wow! It's full of fun!
