Over the weekend, the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) auditorium was
charged with electrifying dance performances as Incredible Zigi together with BTL Africa
brought to life the maiden edition of Afrozig Dance Fiesta.
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 auditorium was lit with all kinds of clothes, hairstyles, moves, and dancing shoes as one after the other, several dance groups both local and across Africa mounted the stage to
exhibit their craft to the heavily packed audience.
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 in 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 much better hone and
improve their craft to stay relevant, while making enough monetary gain.
The masterclass featured legendary highlife singer and dancer Akosua Agyapong, former
world dancing champion, Adjetey Sowah, Abrantie, Dance sensation and choreographer
Incredible Zigi as well as fashion icon Abrantie the Gentleman and Yaa Amoah-Owusu, a
Brand strategist. The panelists shared their success stories, challenges, and tactics of
excelling in the dance craft.
AMG Medikal, Mr. Drew, and Joey B also passed through to drop hit song after hit song
getting patrons gyrating and singing in unison as they performed. With all the exciting
performances, the crowd had lots of energy to jive along with Incredible Zigi as he showed
off his dance skills to the admiration of all.
