The sexualization of Cultural Dance: Is The Dignity of Cultural Dance Gone.

Is it that people just like to dance, is it social media or is it now a part of our culture to add
to ashuebi and others, because most cultural dances are mainly shakara dance, classy, used
to match occasions and tell stories, women covered up, there was dignity in the dance.
Today in Nigerian churches, marriages, and music videos what you see is quite eye catching
to put it mildly. It has changed so much, its worrisome. The art of cultural dancing has been
hijacked and overly sexualized. The music afrobeats is cultural and dare I say that is where
these lines are crossed. If your daughter was doing a music video today, you will be
worried. It’s not even the artist requests, it’s what the girls bring, are ready to where and
dance in the name of Afrobeat’s. As I said its now in the churches. This part of the culture
has to be addressed, talked about and separated. What is going on here!
