Dances are generally taken as cultural material for entertainment with no other values. In this paper, the writers have carefully examined a number of other ways Nigerian dances have been employed in the contemporary times. The paper has argued that Nigerian dances can be used for much more than entertainment and concluded that already, Nigerian dances have been used successfully for cultural diplomacy in a number of nations and as such this should be upheld.
