Nigeria has gotten to the
point where her performing arts industry plays a pivotal role in the
socio-cultural and economic life of her citizens. Over the years, the art of
dance has gradually evolved from being a hobby to a professional career for a
handful number of youths spread across the country.
Mrs Kafayat Shafau – Ameh
popularly known as Kaffy “The Dance Queen” who broke the Guinness book of world
record for the longest dance party in 2006 has performed in many major concerts
locally and internationally. She has featured in music videos for A-list
Nigerian musicians. She is also recognised as the voice of the future Nigerian
through the art of dance. . She recently choreographed the show “Love like a
Movie” by Dare Art-Alade and also performed with Ciara at the concert.
Her relentless passion for
her career, children, youth and women empowerment, has made Kaffy a source of
inspiration, great motivator and influencer. Besides being an entrepreneur,
lovely wife and a super mother to her own biological children, the Dance Queen
has also given birth to a large number of professional dancers who are
currently making waves in the industry.
The dance industry in
Nigeria is growing at snail speed and some of the issues faced are
non-connectedness and lack of professionalism. This is why “The Dance Workshop
2017” is a project set up by Kaffy to enlighten, promote and create a dance
network in Nigeria through a theoretical and practical workshop
The workshop is aimed at
educating dancers on ethics and the business aspect of dance, making them
understand the marketability of this industry. The workshop will include; Fun
Dance Classes, Interactive/Sessions and Motivational talks.
This year’s workshop will
headline international dance choreographer AY Hollywood who has worked with
various recording artists such as; Chris Brown, Ciara, andRihanna. Most
recently AY Hollywood choreographed Beyonce’s “On the Run Tour”, Nicki Minaj’s
“Billboard Music Award” performance as well as Jennifer Lopez’s“American Music
Award”.
The Dance Workshop 2017 is
not limited only to professional dancers, it will also be a fun avenue for the
whole family to engage in a few hours of fun dance sessions and also receive
fitness tips through dance from the Dance Queen herself.
