Dance with Peter: Lagos contestants most impressive, say judges

With the  Dance with Peter  auditions concluded in five cities, Lagos, Abuja, Benin, Port Harcourt and Accra, Ghana, the three  judges of the  show, Peter Okoye, Don Flexx and Kaffy, have described the Lagos contestants as the most impressive.

Dance-with-PeterSpeaking on  the  quality of contestants in the auditions, Kaffy, stated: “So far for me,  the quality of contestants has been impressive. They have shown they can surely be groomed to be of the high standard we are looking for as we progress in the show,” she said.

“Lagos surprisingly impressed me the most. This is because, from my experience as a judge on many dance platforms, Lagos has always had all bark no bite, as commercial dancing has robbed the dancers of the zeal to work hard at improving their techniques and skill acquisition.

But this time, I feel they were more enlightened and as such have produced most of our finest for the show,” Kaffy observed.

Her view was shared by another  judge,  Peter of PSquare who is the organizer of the competition. He noted:  “It’s been impressive so far and I get motivated by the contestants even as a judge. Lagos for me was the most impressive.

The participants gave it their all and I can really see that they are hungry to move to the next level.”

Professional choreographer and dance instructor, Don Flexx, also said Lagos contestants impressed him the most. “Lagos was by far the most impressive. I feel maybe because the city is the centre of entertainment, a lot of opportunities to polish their skills are provided there, making it possible for them to upgrade and update their skills when it comes to consistency”.
