churches, the Ghana News Agency (GNA) observed during a tour of some
churches in Accra on the eve of the New Year and New Year Day
services.
The traditional Ga dance, Kpanlogo which has been modernised into
Azonto dance, has now taken another transformation as the Christian
community joined the secular dance Christian "Chriszonto".
GNA observed that most of the youth in charismatic churches led the
infectious Azonto-Chriszonto dance revolution, with most pastors and
the older generation watching in admiration.
The Azonto-Chriszonto dance craze in the churches is taking deep root
as song leaders, choristers, Praise and Worship groups as well as the
mainly younger generation with youthful exuberance try to out-do each
other with the antics and gestures.
Research by the GNA showed that Azonto dance originated from the
traditional Ghanaian dance, Kpanlogo, which started in indigenous
localities in the Greater Accra Region such as Bukom, James Town,
Chorkor and in Tema.
Now the Azonto dance has taken over other dance forms at clubs, house
parties and churches.
The free style dance involves the shaking of hips, stretching and
pointing hands to different directions at a tempo to the song and
sometimes demonstrating the performance of household chores like
washing or doing ironing.
