Popular dance icon Kaffy has said that dance is not just an art form but a powerful tool for building global influence and enterprise.
She recently spoke out against stereotypes placed on dancers, and fans have been reacting.
Speaking at a media parley to mark her 25th anniversary in the dance industry, Kaffy shared her vision for the future of her brand.
According to her, she does not believe a dancer cannot be in the same room with successful people in other sectors, and her talent has helped her share the same space with Dangote and Tony Elumelu in the past.
Kaffy stated that she never met both billionaires to dance in front of them, stressing that there is more to her art of dance than just moving your body.
“I don’t believe that as a dancer I cannot be in the same room with Elon Musk or a Mark Zuckerberg or a Dangote. I have been in the same room with Dangote, I have been in the same room with Tony Elumelu. It wasn’t because I was dancing in front of them. It’s because there is more to my expression than just dance,” she said.
Kaffy insisted that she sees dance as a service that relates to humanity, reiterating that the art is a vital tool that can be used to build an empire.
The dancer concluded by saying that she has been able to build a multi-trillion-dollar entity with her God given talent.
“Even if I was dancing, dance is a service and it is something that is consumed by humanity whether for entertainment, health, wellness, or education.
For me, going into this journey has shown that I can build a world, a conglomerate, and if dance is the tool I have, I can build it with dance.
You can’t quantify me in Naira and Kobo or in Dollar, but if you want to look at the system and the entity and how much I have invested in there, we are speaking about a multi-trillion dollar entity. That is what the brand Kaffy is,” she added.
