The number one family dance
TV show in Nigeria, Maltina
Dance All is taking dancing to another level this season. After the first dance
performance where families showed different dance styles from the 60s-70s, they
have taken it a notch higher with dance styles from the 80s-90s. The families thus
performed different and popular songs from the 80s and 90s. Continue...
The show opened with the Ibrahim family who
choreographed to the 1980s song, Felicidad
by Boney M; they were followed by the Ikumoinien family who performed the 1981
song, She’s a bad Mamma Jamma by Carl
Carlton; Clement family danced to the 1982 song, A Night to Remember by Shalamar; Asiyefia family to the 1983 song, Beat It by Michael Jackson. The Ebute
family showed what it means to be a Part
Time Lover by dancing to Stevie Wonder 1985 hit song. The Enweribe family danced to the 1990 song, Ice Ice Baby by Vanila Ice; Ebenezer
family to the 1990 song, Poison by
Bel Biv Devoe; Dosa family to the 1992 song, It’s My Life by Dr Alban; Briggs family to the 1994 song, Hot Stepper by Ini Kamoze while the
Ekado performed the 1998 song, Too Legit
by MC Hammer.
With the families captivating and stunning moves, the
judges had a difficult time picking any family to join the Clement and Dosa
families already up for possible eviction from the 60s-70s dance performance.
However, the Asiyefia and Ebute families were put up for possible eviction.
Meanwhile, at the end of the first eviction showdown,
the Dosa and Clement families were evicted from the Maltina Dance All Academy.
The judges were not convinced that they had what it takes to continue the
evolution journey to the grand finale. The Asiyefia and Ebute families were
however strictly warned to further brush up their choreography moves and styles
to avoid being put up for possible eviction again.
The Dosa and Clement families were crushed that their
dreams were brought to an end so early in the competition. They were however
grateful to Maltina for the experience and promised to continue their dreams of
dancing.
Mrs Ngozi Nkwoji, Senior Brand Manager, Maltina said the
show is all about the
emotions, excitement, fun and the unbreakable bond that the
families will showcase throughout the Academy. She added that this year,
Maltina is doing something different by taking Nigerians back to songs and
dance styles from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and to this present age. “The idea is
to show Nigerians that dance has come a long way and is very much appreciated
in the Academy. The evolution will take Nigerians through time to songs most of
our young people have probably not heard and most of our parents will nod their
heads to while reminiscing on those good old days”.
The winning family will go home with
the grand prize of a whooping sum of N6 million and of course, a brand new car.
The first and second runners up will also get N1 million and N500, 000
respectively. The show will bring to the fore, the Nigerian people’s essence
and values of sharing, happiness unity, cooperation, vitality and creativity.
