Wo Wa Dance is performed by men and has a dashing, firm, and spirited movement, often equipped with attributes such as spears, shields, swords, or traditional weapons. According to Legend, Wo-Wa Dance is a dance used to conquer the rebellion carried out by Kapita Takome (warlord) in the Sulamadaha region. Kapita Takome and his followers showed their disloyal attitude and declared war on the Ternate Sultanate. To overcome the rebellion, troops were sent from Makian Island led by Kapita Peleri (Ploly).]]>
