A step-by-step movement that entertains the audience is generally known as a dance. This movement has been in existence right from time. Dance has proven to be a part of the entertainment that puts a smile on faces. People dance or view dance to be happy, relieve tension, and have a good time. Whatever the reason may be, dance has been one of the best forms of entertainment. In this post, I will be writing about, and performing the waist dance, known as Unek Itak Isin by the Ibibio people.

COSTUMES AND MUSIC FOR THE WAIST DANCE
The waist dance doesn't have specified costumes, you can perform it in any dress. But if you wish, you can perform it in traditional attire if it's performed at cultural events.
The waist dance is better performed with cultural music since it is a cultural dance. These types of music will qualify the dance, and make the moves and the beats compatible. But you can perform the waist dance with any other music that the sound permits you.
