DANCE AS A COMMUNICATION TOOL USING OBITUN AS A CASE STUDY

 ABSTRACT

In recent times, traditional African dance seems to be given less cognizance in the society which is been compounded by high level of attention given to contemporary dance and less attention to African traditional dance. The level of involvement of the youth in African traditional dance is not encouraging, worse still, there is the tendency for this trend to continue in view of ignorance of the uniqueness of our own dance for the present and younger generations. Although there are youth who loves the African culture but because of discrimination for the profession, many Africans do not even know dances from their own community neither do they know how their dance communicate. Hence, this study tends to reveal the uniqueness in African traditional dance and the ability it has to function the same as communication using Obitun dance of the Ondo town, Ondo State, Nigeria.
