Kelvin Ayanruoh has emerged winner of the four-month long reality TV dance competition, Dance with Peter.
The finalists, including Ayanruoh, Julius Fakta, Amazing Amy, Mali Hot Boy, G-Xtreem, C-Fly and Da Octopus, outdid one another in a show of talent as they fought to woo votes in their favour to be crowned West Africa’s Dance King.
The votes of viewers was the deciding factor and when summed up, they were in favour of Ayanruoh,  beating Mali Hot Boy, to second place and Ghanaian Julius Fakta, in third place as Amazing Amy came fourth, and Da Octopus fifth.
The star winner received a Toyota Rav 4 SUV and N3 million cash as well as an opportunity to feature in P-Square’s next music video.  First runner-up, Mali Hot Boy, received a Honda Civic car and N2 million, while Julius Fakta got a Kia Rio car and N1 million. They 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,’ is gradually reaching his goal of becoming a top international choreographer. His victory has been considered remarkable, given that he started out as a member of a dance group, Elevators NG during the auditions. His dexterity stood him out with the judges who picked him out to progress to the next stage as a solo performer.
The show was launched in August by Globacom in partnership with Peter Okoye of the P-Square duo.
The telecoms company said in a release that it decided to sponsor the show because of the need to promote the dance culture among Africans and assist those who may want to go into the dance profession to discover their potentials.
“Globacom would be fulfilled to see, in the near future, the young, creative dancers discovered from this reality TV show become real professionals, and turn their talent into a huge commercial success by making substantial earnings out of it,” the company said, adding that initiatives like this would reduce unemployment in the country.
