Once again Nigeria is making another attempt at democracy (a government of the people, by the people, for the people.) Previous attempts had failed due to many reasons. from the little seen of this new (and fourth attempt), one can see that lack of patien
ce and the refusal to allow "the people ' to nave a say in "their government" cannot be ruled out as some of the causes of the previous failures.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs22 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\insrsid5273555\charrsid5273555

It has become very difficult for a country that has been dominated for so long by military rule to understand a

\par However, for any art of the theatre to 
have at)y meaningful impact and influence on the society, it must enjoy a considerable amount of patronage from members of such society. Meanwhile, the dance medium seems to be the most patronized and acceptable medium through which the populace can still

The unstable political situation in the country, the dictatorial and despotic military leaders the country had witnessed in recent

It is also observable that although many Nigerian playwrights are not tired, as they still turn out different and large numbers of appropriate plays that reflect, comment on, and condemn the disturb si

Although the theatre can contribute tremendously in sust

the rich and the poor, the ruled and the rulers that are supposed to be affected in one way or the other by these plays are not reached at all. There is therefore a hindrance for the theatre becoming relevant in the Nigerian situation.

Perhaps the problem is riot only with the arts council troupes. The }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs22 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\cf1\insrsid10763319 problem could lie in the little recognition and acceptability given to }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs22 \ltrch\fcs0

Some of the problems Clark identified then were that the dance art "is at the same stage as literary scholarship was in the 50s and early }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \expnd1\expndtw6\cf1\insrsid15545856

\expnd1\expndtw7\cf1\insrsid15545856 observed that there were as few as two professional journals through which dance scholars could make their studies known. Another factor }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \expnd0\expndtw1\cf1\insrsid15545856 
she enumerates is the fact that dance is still taught as a subsidiary course in many of the Theatre/Dramatic/Creative Arts departments of our higher institutions in Nigeria.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15545856

It is quite unfortunate that even today twelve years after her submission all the above situations have not changed for the better. If anything has happened at all, it is negative. For example, the two journals mentioned 
in her work are no longer active. Although the higher institutions running theatre programmes have increased, only University of Ilorin teaches music, dance and drama with equal emphasis on each area. Dance is still treated as an accompaniment to music an
d drama in many other institutions. There is yet to be a full-fledged dance department in the country. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15545856

There is still no body of dance academics to forge a direction for the art in Nigeria. This particular problem is not unconnected with the fact that the 
discipline is not yet accorded the rightful place it deserves in the society for it to flourish. Dance is still not taught at the primary and secondary school levels. Therefore, there are only a few candidates that apply to study dance in higher instituti
ons, hence there are a few dance scholars in the country who can actually defend and project the image and artistic potency of dance. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs22 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\insrsid15545856\charrsid6059777

For the avoidance of doubt, dance has come to stay as a viable art }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \expnd0\expndtw4\cf1\insrsid15545856 worldwide. The performing arts entail the act of 'doing' in the theatre }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0
