Musah Osumanu and Josh Ansah to lead Panel of Judges
The second edition of Dance Queen Africa is expected to be launched at the National Theater in January 2022 according to CEO of Digital Gate Communication.
After 13-weeks of non-stop dancing, ten ladies will make it to the final showdown of the Dance Queen Africa finals to be held in April 2022 in Accra.
In the maiden editions more than 350 dancers auditioned nationwide, 16 were selected. The 16 finalists went through a serialized dance show for the five weeks, resulting in six (6) evictions. Ten ladies, Gadlenne, Pat, Becca, Nana Ama, Felicity, Munira, Rita, Lianna, Queen and Yvonne made it to the final show.
Dance Queen Africa, which is a TVC Africa event in partnership with Phamous People, is a contest created solely for young ladies to explore the significance of different types of contemporary dance forms primarily for entertainment and creative purpose. The contest aims at promoting positive social values and behaviors whiles creating experience and participation of young ladies in the dance and music industry.
“The idea is to create a setting where people will watch a good dance show by the best female dancers Ghana has, without necessarily sitting throughout, but also partaking in the dance fun. A big jam, more like a mega niteclub”, says Osumanu Musah, a member of the Judge panel.
All 10 finalists are expected to go through three rounds of Ghanaian traditional dance, Dancehall, hip hop/hiplife, choreography and battle, and highlife dance tasks rolled out by the judges. Judges for the show include model/choreographer, Josh Ansah, musician, Mr. Drew and DWP Academy dancer, Osumanu Musah.
The winner of the ‘Ultimate Dance Diva’ will represent Ghana at the Dance Queen Africa final in Nigeria later in July 2022. She will walk away with three thousand dollars, products from the sponsors, and a one-year management deal alongside the two runners-up.
