Colour Wheel On Primary Colours & Traditional dances In Nigeria

Traditional dances are an expression of culture and are used to celebrate important events. Some examples include:

1. Bata dance (Yoruba) – Performed during festivals and ceremonies.
2. Atilogwu dance (Igbo) – Known for its acrobatics and energy.
3. Sharo Dance (Fulani) – A dance performed during the Sharo festival.
4. Ekombi Dance (Efik) – Represents the grace of young maidens.
5. Swange Dance (Tiv) – A rhythmic dance from Benue state.

Primary colours are the base colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours. They are:

1. red
2. Yellow
3. Blue

These colours are arranged in a circular pattern called the colour wheel, which helps artists mix and understand colours better.

Primary Colours and a Colour Wheel

In school paint mixing, red, yellow and blue are primary colours. Arrange them around a simple colour wheel; the spaces between them show the secondary colours made by mixing pairs: orange, green and purple.

Traditional dance is learned in a community and may mark festivals, work, worship, history or celebration. Examples and movements should be taught with their correct community names and meaning, not treated as one single Nigerian dance.
