Azonto is an original Ghanaian (see also Kpanlogo) expressive dance and music form. Azonto Dance form incorporates complex co-ordinated body movement and non-verbal communication in a rhythmic fashion in very few one-two timed steps. Just like most African dances, knee bending and hip movements are rudiments to dancing it. The dance has effectively evolved from a few rudimentary moves to embrace depictions of washing, driving, boxing, grooming, praying, swimming, et cetera and generally reflect the creativity and rich sense of humour of the Ghanaian people. The dance which is usually performed with an accompanying smile evolved from the combination of several local dance moves that originated from the southern-most part of Ghana during the early 2000s. The dance has evolved with the fast pace dance culture of modern West Africa. It is also true that before the dance became famous, youth in senior high schools of Ghana, had a similar but different way of doing the dance. A modification of that is what we see today. It involved a similar movement of the feet, hands, and hips and at the end of every move a gun shot was mimicked with the hand and if possible the mouth.

Awon boys - Azonto, No comment

Nigerians and hypocrisy! When will we grow up/mature to appreciate good(or better)things that come from other African nations.?

This Azonto dance, to me, is more creative, interesting and fun than Alanta and Yahoozee combined!
Like someone said, It is not only Ghanaians doing it, and is currently the most popular dance steps among Africans in Europe and beyond.

i dont think that we are hypocrite because presently Nigerians are even doing more of the Azonto dance than the Ghanians...check this video out to confirm Keri Hilson Dancing Azonto & Etighi to flavour ashawo and dbanj song http://viewnaija.com/video/1978611010001/Keri_Hilson_Dancing_Azonto_&_Etighi
