The Swange dance is a traditional dance routine performed by the Tiv people of the Benue River Basin in the middle belt of Nigeria. Unlike most of the other dance routines, Swange is purely a recreational dance move performed by men and women, alike. The dance is characterized by fluid, contorted, and rhythmic movements, which is why many have described it as the “boneless” dance.
Swange dance is performed at various social and cultural occasions, and it is no doubt one of the most unique dance routines in all of Africa.
