NuZo, I agree with u that nigerians can dance all those Nigerian traditional dances but the real questions are- How many of these nigerians are making a living out of it? How many are using it to have a positive impact on the people/ youths? How is the technical development/ improvement of these dances and how are these dances been promoted in nigeria and abroad? Do ur thing but if u cant beat them, u join them, untill u can beat them, Tha Flyt |

tha FLYT: A lot of people make their living from dancing competitions in nigeria. Though not as much as we all expect. Once in a while, the different level of governments organize these competitions. You should also be aware that every clan, LGA, state and federal government have numerous dance troupes. Like i said before, nobody will want to pay to watch what he/she feel he can do better. Most nigerians dance at least 4 times in a month; either in the church or in owambe parties. The question should be; why is our kind of dance not promoted outside the shores of nigeria? |

I think most of the kind of dancers you're referring to, might be overseas based since there's more exposure over there. You have dance schools, dance classes, etc. Kids are taught and encouraged to dance right from the kindergarten level. |

If I had an option to study dance for my undergraduate in Nigeria I would have done it. Unfortunately, there was none of such. Still I improved on myself in the art of dancing. Today, I hardly dance again though. ![]() ![]() As for the topic, dancing is really coming up now in Nigeria. People are beginning to see dancing as not only entertainment but also a good means of earning and thriving in Nigeria. SOD (Spirit of David) usually perform a dance contest/show annually, and Funmi Iyanda of NTA helps in promoting them. There are quite a couple of videos to it on youtube. You may wish to refer to it. Furthermore, during my NYSC days, I represented my Platoon for the dancing competition. I came second, was supposed to represent the state where I served, for the National Dancing Competition in Abuja which entails all Youth Corp Members in Federation. But lo and behold, I was no where to be found! ![]() So I believe dancing is very much promoted in Nigeria. Not yet at the desired level, but at least, there is the awareness and appreciation to dancing. |

Celebrity takes two 2 malta guiness street dance Nigeria/Africa 3 maltina Family dance 4 close up Salsa train and other not so popular underground dance related shows and competiton though Dance isnt a big thing in Nigeria, it is doing well for itself and can boast of development compared to the days of old . . . . . . in one word, "We are getting there" ![]() |
