[1] Ghana News Agency cites their study which found out the dance is connected to the traditional Ga dance Kpanlogo, associated with the coastal towns in the country such as Chorkor, James Town, Teshie, Nungua and Tema, in the Greater Accra Region.

The dancer's shoulders are slouched, and their head is turned to one side with a "defiant and flirtatious" smirk on their face.

[5] The hands of the dancer point downwards and move in flowing, circular motions around themselves and the space in front of them, changing in levels from the head to the waist.

The dance has effectively evolved from a few basic moves to miming actions such as ironing of clothes, washing, driving, boxing, praying, swimming, and others.

In the same year (2013),[8] most Ghanaian music videos were full of Azonto dance and later spread to most African countries and other parts of the world.
