KELVIN
AFTER weeks of keen contest, Kelvin Ayanruoh, a twenty four old indigene of Delta State, has emerged winner of the maiden edition of Dance with Peter reality television show sponsored by Globacom.
The youngster was declared winner at the grand finale of the show held last Saturday at Bamako Studio, Ojodu, Lagos. He defeated his closest challengers, Mali Hot Boy, and third place winner, Ghanaian Julius Fakta, to win the coveted crown of best dancer in West Africa. Amazing Amy and Da Octopus won the fourth and fifth positions respectively.
In view of this, Kelvin wins 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. First runner-up, Mali Hot Boy, goes home with a Honda Civic car and N2million, while Julius Fakta gets a Kia Rio car and N1million cash prize. Both of them will also have a chance to feature in a top Glo Ambssador’s music video.
With his emergence as the best dancer, Kelvin whose philosophy in life is “respect all and fear none” is crystallising his dream of becoming a world famous international choreographer. His victory is also remarkable, given that he started out as a member of a dance group called Elevators NG. At the audition stage, the judges picked him out for his dexterity to progress to the next stage as a solo performer. He has repaid that faith by winning the competition.
The other dancers who survived the elimination stages and made it 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.
Glo ambassador and entertainer, Dapo Oyebanjo, popularly known as D’banj, featured as guest judge on the show. He also performed along with Peter Okoye to the delight of the audience.
