Accra, Oct. 16, GNA – The Praise Dance Concert of the 10th Ghana Dance Festival has been staged featuring the best of Praise Dance Ministers in a holy dance battle for the number one spot.
In a keenly contested grand finale at the PIWC Atomic, AfroStepz Dance Academy emerged winners, ahead of Dance 360, Flames Dance Company, CDS, Shepherds, KTwins Gh, and Pawers Nation.
The three-round competition captivated the audience from start to finish, with dancers giving off their best in each round.
At the end of the contest, MC of the event, Psalm One, announced AfroStepz as 1st place winners taking home a GHC4000 cash prize, while Dance 360 who came second won GHC2000.
According to CEO of the Ghana Dance Festival, Robert Klah, “dance means different things to different people and we are happy to use our platform to allow for the different expressions in gospel fraternity – praises and dance ministrations.
“This year, we decided to bring the praise dance back to the church, and to offer more people the opportunity to use their dance as a tool of worship and service to God.
“We are grateful for the partnership with PIWC Atomic, facilitated by Pastor Michael Laryea and approved by Apostle Athony Mensah. While we are happy with the event, we look forward to a bigger experience next year.”
The event also saw a discussion on how the dancers and the urban gospel singers can work together. In the panel discussion moderated by Robert Klah, several issues on promotion were discussed.
Urban gospel artistes Scott Evans, Kobby Salm, and Kingz Kid represented the interest of the urban gospel musicians.
The session closed with an appreciation of dancers and musicians with a clear understanding of working together, to achieve kingdom objectives.
