| Research Abstract |
African dance is one of the original forms of dance and together with music, has been used in place of written forms of language as a means of communication. The rhythms and movements of African dance have had a major influence on the development of dance and music. Thus understanding of the folk dances have been passed down as tradition in Africa becomes essential to following the development of dance in modern Western societies.
