1.1 Background of the Study
Cultural dances are vital elements of traditional events, serving as both entertainment and expressions of cultural identity. These dances often narrate stories, celebrate communal achievements, and reflect the history of a people. In Potiskum Local Government Area, cultural dances are integral to events such as weddings, festivals, and coronation ceremonies, acting as a unifying force within the community. According to Yusuf and Abubakar (2024), cultural dances enhance the visual appeal and emotional connection of events, drawing greater participation from attendees.
