The Assiko is a popular dance from the South of Cameroon.Originally based in the Bassa country this rhythmed dance takes its name from two words: ISI changed into ASSI which means earth or ground; and KOO meaning foot.The Assiko is danced dressed in a simple T-shirt and a full skirt with a pronounced billowing waistline that emphasizes hip movement.The choreographies of Assiko use several lop-sided walks successive small close walks that the dancers make at different heights standing up or crouching which makes you feel they float on the stage.
