Kelvin Ayanruoh.
As Glo-sponsored
Dance with Peter came to an end on Saturday, 24-year-old Kelvin
Ayanruoh, an indigene of Delta State, emerged winner of the dance TV
reality show.
Kelvin came tops at
the grand finale of the show held at the Bamako Studios, Ojodu, Lagos,
having beaten his closest challengers, Mali Hot Boy, and Ghanaian Julius
Fakta to second and third places respectively to clinch the coveted
crown of best dancer in West Africa. Amazing Amy won in the fourth place
while Da Octopus came fifth.
With this
development, Kelvin won Globacom's top prize of a Toyota Rav 4 SUV and
N3million cash with an opportunity of featuring in P-Square's next music
video. Mali Hot Boy, won a Honda Civic car and N2million, while Julius
Fakta won a Kia Rio car and N1million cash prize. Both of them will also
have a chance to feature in a top Glo Ambassador's music video.
Kelvin who says his
philosophy in life is "respect all and fear none" seems to be inching
closer to his dream of being a top international choreographer with this
much-sought victory which is also remarkable, given that he started out
as a member of a dance group called Elevators NG. Kelvin was singled
out at the audition stage by the judges who noticed his dexterity and
encouraged him to progress to the next stage as a solo performer. He has
justified the confidence reposed in him by the judges by winning the
competition.
Other dancers who
made it through the elimination stages to the grand finale were Amazing
Amy, Da Octopus, G-Xtreem and C-Fly. They were voted fourth, fifth,
sixth and seventh respectively by followers of the show.
The dance reality
showwas launched in August by Globacom in partnership with Peter Okoye,
the twin brother and partner in musical group, P-Square. The company
said its decision to sponsor the show was based on the need to promote
the dance culture among Africans and support those who may want to go
into the dance profession to discover their potential.
