As if conquering the world of dance in Nigeria and making the profession more desirable amongst aspiring Nigerian dancers wasn't enough, Kaffy has set her sights on higher goals.As Nigeria's dance queen is set to bring her dance workshop to New York on Tuesday 20th May 2014.
The workshop which was open to dancers, fitness enthusiast and good timers of all ages combined fitness and dancing as a way to free the mind, body and spirit.
Recall Kaffy recently held one in London last month where she explained the purpose of the workshop saying, 'I'm not doing this because I'm trying to get my brand out there. Let me tell you something, I started dancing in a country at a time when no young person could go home and tell their parents that they want to dance. I've taken the cross for a lot of dancers; I've nailed myself to the cross for a lot of dancers. I've made some sacrifices. I've been called everything. I've been called a prostitute and everything.'
She also gave the attendees advice on lifelong decisions 'I studied civil engineering. I'm a maths freak. My desire is to change the world. I'm now applying what I learned into what I do right now, there's a lot of what I learned at school that applies right now. I'm not saying education is anything to toy with but just learn to apply what you learn at school. Don't just go to school because of mummy and daddy. I took the challenge because I wanted to prove to my parents that anything you do in this world you can be somebody from it.'
