A young man from the National Arts Centre in Kumase performs a traditional dance. It is the retelling of state formation, migration, war, & victory all told symbolically with hand gestures, body positioning, foot movement, & facial expressions.

The dance is performed passionately but lacks the elegance one would find when performed by a royal or one who is a court dancer.
