The group, made up of Victor Sam, Richard Sunday, Idara Maurice, Blessing Essien, Ellan Santus , caught the attention of the four judges made of seasoned entertainment entrepreneurs including Gordons.

Speaking at the dance competition organised by Real Made in Africa in conjunction with project Asha, held in Lagos recently, Komone Godwin, aka, Gordons, said the programme was timely.

Equally as co-partner, the Chairman, Board of Trustees, Project Asha Initiative, Steven Robinson, said they chose dance because of the equality issue and it requires no certificate to perform.
