Ohafia dance

Check out this video I shot on one of my trips back to my country home. It's called Ohafia war dance.
Usually its a dance done before and after a war back in ancient times. The methods of dancing varied from warrior to warrior depending on how good you are on the battle field.
It has evolved to be a dance done for the fun of it. It can be danced during special celebrations.
