Agwara (dance)
Agwara is a royal dance of the Alur people of Northern Uganda and parts of the WestNile sub-region, performed in the presence of the king. It is performed by both women and men during social occasions. The dance is performed to drums, and uses linear and circular formations characterized by leg and waist twisting while wearing ankle bells to emphasize their footwork. The dance is named after the sound of long trumpets also known as agwara horns. The dance evolved during the process of Alur people mixing and smearing mud on their houses from which its movements later grown in to formal dance expression.
