Adowa dance

It is a popular traditional dance in Ghana and it is performed at cultural ceremonies like festivals, funerals, engagements, and celebrations.

The Adowa dance is a sign of expression that allows performers to communicate their emotions and feelings through their hands and feet.

[1][2] An Adowa ensemble consists of a lead singer, a chorus, and percussion instruments.

[1] Adowa dancers use symbolic language, with different hand movements telling their own story.

This body language is accentuated by the use of a white cloth that they hold in their hand.
