Do you know how the ANTELOPE ( ADOWA ) dance came about?
Oral history has it that , a great Queen of the Ashantis ( Abrewa Tutuwaa ) was sick and the only way to get her healed was through getting a life antelope from the wild to pacify the gods and make her well again as revealed by the chief priest.
The Adowa dance is a sign of expression that allows the performer to communicate their emotions ( positive or negative) feelings through their hands and feets. Just as the antelope behaves. And this dance can be perform at all social gatherings.Till then let us value our own.
See you next week. 👋👋👋
