Dance, as we all know it, has evolved, it is no longer just a form of recreation or a way of loosening up. People actually make serious doe from dancing.
So much money that it can be considered a source of livelihood, and it doesn’t really matter the genre of dance you are doing.
And yes, dance has got different genres like music. Although not all genres are received equally a good dancer should perform moderately in all.
In today’s post, there’ll be an unveiling of the top Nigerian female dancers making some waves in their worlds.
Hope you aren’t surprised that we have very good female dancers, some of who can go toe to toe with their male counterparts any day.
As it was mentioned earlier, there are different genres but our focus will be on the afro dance. The afro dance kingdom has had its fair share of battles and the war is still on.
We won’t go pro on this matter with unnecessary criteria and conditions. But just so you know, every good dancer should have the following requirements in mind.
These are what all these professional judges look for in a dancer:
- Technique

These criteria cut across all forms of dance and are essential in selecting the ones best in any competition.
