Also be sure to check out our audio clips and video clips The following text is also available in PDF format, which allows correct spelling of African text. To view PDF files you need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer - it's free. Dance Repertoire in PDF format (53 KB) Major Historical Styles Adzohu (Ago, Atsia, Kadodo). Agbekor (Vulolo, Vutsotsoe). An ancient Foh and Ewe war dance once known as Atamga. Agbekor is often performed at social/cultural events and at funerals. It is danced with horsetails and features spectacular slow and fast dance sections interspersed with many ritual song and movement interludes. Dance movements mimic battlefield tactics such as reconnaissance, surprise attack and hand to hand combat. Cultural and Social Styles Anyako Atsia. Togo Atsia. NanDom Bawa . A harvest celebration/prayer/thanksgiving dance from the Lobi people of northwestern Ghana. For practical reasons we don't incorporate baliphones (marimbas) and some other traditional instruments into our performances, which is a big departure from traditional practice - but there's so much going on that it's still a great show piece. Gahu . A colorful circle dance originally from Nigeria. Dancers wear expensive robes and headgear, and sing of being well-off and proud of it. Gahu seems to enjoy poking fun at Europeans and their odd behavior, among other things.
