Ewoya dance of The jie People.

Ewoya Dance is a traditional Folk Dance of the Jie people found in North-Eastern Uganda in the Karamoja Sub-region Kotido District. It involves continuous vertical high jumping.[1] This dance is significantly used to search for partners where both women and men jump and whoever jumps highest gets the most handsome or beautiful partner.[2] Ewoya Dance of the Jie people are similar to that of the Maasai, and Karamojong. The Jie speak a language dialect of the Karamojong people.[2]
