Abstract |
|
Dances are generally taken as cultural material for
entertainment with no other values. In this paper,
the writers have carefully examined a number of
other ways Nigerian dances have been employed in the
contemporary times. The paper has argued that
Nigerian dances can be used for much more than
entertainment and concluded that already, Nigerian
dances have been used successfully for cultural
diplomacy in a number of nations and as such this
should be upheld.
