Al qaeda dance is a dance originating from Ghana. Al qaeda dance is known to have originated from the coastal areas like Chorkor, James Town, La, Teshie, and Nungua, and other parts of the Greater Accra Region. Al qaeda dance is an evolution of the popular azonto dance.

The dance involves the rhythmic shaking of shoulders and knees, it also has a set of hand movements that either mimic everyday activities or are meant to signal an often amusing intention. The dance, which is usually performed with an accompanying smile, evolved from the combination of several local dance moves that originated from Ghana during the early 2000s.
