The tradition
The Egedege dance is an Igbo dance from southeastern Nigeria. The modern Egedege dance, which was created in 1985 and popularised by Theresa Onuorah, is an interpretation of an older dance from Unubi, which was performed by youths by moonlight. The name Egedege stems from local slang for richness and bravery.¶
