1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Nigerian dance is a subset of the African dance culture. It is very dynamic, rich and magnetic phenomenon. It is not easy to classify all Nigerian dances. Music and dance are part of life of every Nigerian native. The day you are born is celebrated an d so is the day you die. We can conclude that the rhythms and dance steps of modern dances are products of   African music and dance. There are different types of dances. From acrobatic dance groups that are available for feature performances, workshops, fes tivals, and dance lessons to more subtle dancers that perform during mourning. The music of Nigeria includes many kinds of folk and popular music, some of which are known worldwide. Styles of folk music are related to the multitudes of ethnics group in the country in the country, each with their own techniques, instruments, and songs. Little is known about the country's music history prior to European contact, although bronze carvings dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries have been found depicting musi cians and their  instruments. Nigeria has been called "the heart of African music because of its role in the development of  West African highlife and palm wine music, which fuses native rhythms with techniques imported from the congo for the development of sev eral popular styles that were unique to Nigeria, like apala, fuji, juju, highlife. Subsequently, Nigerian musicians created their own styles of United States hip hop and jamaican reggae. Nigeria's musical output has achieved international acclaim not on ly in the fields of folk and popular music, but also western art music written by composers such as Fela Sowande. Nigeria has some of the most advance recording studio technology in Africa, and provides robust commercial opportunities for music performers.
