Following the captivating episodes of Afro dance battles last week, the Glo sponsored reality dance TV show, Glo Battle of the Year Nigeria, will from this weekend move into its last lap with Episode eight. The episode which showcases the coolest leg of the competition- ‘Dance Crew’ contests, will air on Saturday from 8pm on the mobile streaming app of Globacom, GloTV.
The BBoy/ BGirl & Locking dance contests which were the first dance categories to be featured, had among its winners Bboy Whirlz, BBoy Valley, and BBoyLil Monster. They will go up against the best dancers from the other regions in the finals scheduled to hold in Lagos in April. These early contests were spiced up with commentary provided by BBoy JC Jedor and Big Flo.
Equally, we saw ‘Girl-power’ in action, as Christiana Gift defeated CFly, a Port Harcourt based Locking dancer to emerge as the only female Locking dancer in the competition.
Another key highlight of the first seven episodes was when contestant Bboy Off fainted backstage, just after his fierce semifinal battle with Victor Vic in episode 3.It has however not only been about break dancing as viewers have also been thrilled by Poppers drawn from the across the nation as they battled to make their way to Lagos while working hard to impress the judging panel made up of Frank Okwara, Locking Si’on and Dj Poxxy amongst others.
The show so far has enjoyed its highest viewership with episodes 6 & 7, which showcased energetic Afro dancers across the 6 audition regions of Lagos, Kaduna, Abuja, Enugu, Benin and Port Harcourt.
They didn’t just amaze the judges but thrilled the audience to Afro dance moves through leg works, body movements, and random spins on the dance floor.Feedback received from fans and viewers indicate that the first seven episodes were packed with top class entertainment. The battles had thick storylines in various forms; from giant-killers to beautiful wins and unexpected defeats. Truly, premium content has so far been delivered.
