Summary
| Description |
English: Larakaraka is a ceremonial dance from the Acholi, who live in Eastern Equatorial in South Sudan and Northern Uganda. It is primarily a courtship dance that is performed during weddings. When the young people in a particular village are ready for marriage, they organize a big ceremony where all potential partners meet. As a sign of friendship, food and alcoholic drinks are served during this ceremony. Only the best dancers will get partners, so there is a lot of competition during the dancing. In Acholi, if you are a poor dancer, you are likely to die as a bachelor
