Somali dance practised primarily in Southern Somalia
Niiko is a type of dance indigenous to Southern Somalia. Due to its sensual nature it is more often done by non-practicing Muslims and eschewed by those who are religiously observant, especially in freemixed gatherings. It involves moving the hips and is similar to twerking except the hips are moved in a rotary fashion. Niiko is often performed whilst wearing a dirac as well as a scarf around the waist in order to accentuate the buttocks, this dance is practiced by both Southern ethnic Somalis though originally introduced by Somali Bantus.[1][2][3][4]
