Ite-igbo
The name of the first dance we had performed is called Ite-lgbo
This dance started from our forefathers
It is a war dance that our forefathers used to celebrate the true strength of a man who had returned victorious from war.
It is a dance that is performed by men and not women
Ite-igbo is mostly performed during the Ohafia new yam festival
Or during the burial ceremony of a great person who was a member of the dancing group
The headwear on my head is called okpu agu in igbo language traditionally known with men in our community
The headwear has a mixture of red, black and white colors. The red signifies blood; black signifies hair and the white signifies the skull of the defeated in war.
