dc.description.abstractDance is an integral part of the African life and culture. It is a vital medium of cultural expression and transmission of traditions, beliefs, norms, philosophies, histories, folklores, ethical values, ethos and etiquette. However, influence of modernity has in some way contributed to the jettison of some of the most valuable African folk dance performances in modern African society. Consequently, the values therein are also thrown overboard for mere entertainment. Therefore, this paper exposes the vital place of ozomeche folk dance performance in Ebira culture. Hence, this posterity sake expositional documentation sails on a springboard of sociological research approach to expose the values of Ebira-Ozomeche folk dance performance thereby establishing the potency of folk dance, as a vital medium of good upbringing and character molding. These values transmitted from generation to generation through performance, permeate educational, ethical and moral impartation. Among other findings, we discover that Ozomeche folk dance form beyond cultural transmission and preservation serves as an informal channel of knowledge acquisition, vocational tutorage, human development and social change cutting across all spheres of life.en_US
