This dance is also known as the Imbalu dance and is performed by the Bagishu of Mbale district in Eastern Uganda during the public circumcision Ceremonies locally known as “Imbalu”. Imbalu is a ceremony where boys are initiated into manhood. Mwamgu dance is performed by both young women and men. Much as it was only performed during the public Circumcision ceremonies, these days it is performed in most Ceremonies in the region.
