Dance Staff for Shango

Shango is a demigod, or half-god, from the Yoruba tradition. Yoruba can be traced back to the current country of Nigeria. When honoring or summoning Shango, priests would dance while holding a double-headed axe. This one has a woman with a double-headed axe on her head. What kind of dance would you do to honor a demigod?
