Runyege is a traditional dance performed by the Banyoro of western Uganda (Masindi, Hoima, Kibale and Kiryandongo districts) and is danced by women wearing rings around their waists and men having foot rattles. It is from the rattles (locally known as “Ebinyege” that the dance derived its name. What makes the dance more interesting is the vigorous foot stamping that characterizes the dance.
