Sensational dancer and choreographer Kafayat Shafau popularly known as Kaffy has said that she has no plans to retire from dancing, stating that people would still want her to perform even when she’s 60 years old.
The Guinness Book record-breaker said this in an interview with Sunday Scoop, saying that there’s no limit to what the human body can do.
“A dancer can dance till the age of 80. One of the oldest dancers is in her eighties and people still watch her. There is no limit to what the human body can do. However, over time, there are some projects I would not be able to partake in anymore. I know that even when I am 60 years old, some people would still want me to perform for them. I am not only a dancer for the sake of entertainment, I use dance for therapy, fitness and wellness. For me, I’ll keep doing this business till I ‘drop’.
“When people began to like my dance, I decided to create a business out of it. I wanted to gain more knowledge about art so I could build a dance empire into a major corporate entity. I didn’t start to dance to get validation, I just wanted to make a career out of my gift. I am happy that dancers are doing well now and making good money from the art,” she said.
Kaffy is married to Joseph Ameh. They have two children.
