Dance in Ghana gets big boost with maiden Afrozig Dance Fiesta

The University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) auditorium was charged with electrifying dance performances as Incredible Zigi together with BTL Africa brought the maiden edition of Afrozig Dance Fiesta to life last Saturday.

The Afrozig Dance Fiesta seeks to celebrate dance in Ghana and provide a platform where dancers can always look forward to expressing themselves through their craft.

The crowd went agog when the “The Afrozig Diva Dance Competition” started. The ladies mounted the stage to serenade guests with performances that kept guests on their feet.

Eventually Crazy Wakiki won the fierce Diva Dance Competition. She’ll be groomed for a year by Incredible Zigi and enrolled on Afrozig Dance Company where she will be trained as professional dancer and make a living out of it.

According to Incredible Zigi, this event has come to stay as an annual dance event, and the support and success of this maiden edition give more boost for subsequent editions.

This maiden edition, which had a Dance Masterclass session on the side, was organised to chaperone young and budding dance talents on ways they can  improve their craft to stay relevant, and make enough gain.
