Pioru Masquerade dance is from Oba-ama in Okrika. It is used to escort the ceremonial Iria (maiden) dance.

There are various groups now scattered all over the Okrika villages. They go by various names of sea animals.

This dance is performed by masquerades with extreme flexible waist to do the rhythmic Konju-Seki (waist dance), an art only a few can master.

The Pioru combines the waist and circlet of locust beans tied round the ankles to produce a wonderful style of dancing that is always very peculiar to the Pioru Masquerade.
