The Wodaabe are a sub-group of the Fula people, who are nomads that live in the southern Sahara. They are known for the high jumping dance carried out by the adolescent men during the Gerewol (Guérewol) ceremonies in order to impress potential brides. There are various dances (such as the fijo and the yake) held during the Gerewol and for one of them the men wear a plain leather ‘skirt’ under a long, open sided tunic.
