Larakaraka/Orak is one of the Acholi Courtship dances performed during leisure time by the Acholis back in the day, present day we still have some communities that do perform it in the evening time (Leisure time) although mostly commercialised groups for profit interest.
Larakaraka was a moment to spot a perfect marriage partner amongst the youth (Young adults), every male dancer was to show the best talents/skills in dancing to impress a female dancer to choose him for marriage.
Larakaraka dance musical instruments include; Huge Calabash container, Bicycle Spok fixed together to make sound out of hitting the calabash skilfully. Initially it used to be material got from part of the Borassus Palm leaf but due to sustainability interm of durability and coming up of bicycles, this gave the Acholi dancers a better stronger option plus better sound as well.

Just like Larakaraka, Ajere Dance is also another Courtship dance that gave bachelors/young adults to get their potential marriage partners. The uniqueness of this Dance is that, it’s performed using a small ax (Currently properly shaped wood that looks like an ax) held by male dancers.
