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. The Nigeria’s dance 
queen is set to take her dance workshop to New York on Tuesday, 20th 
May, 2014.
The workshop, which is opened to dancers, fitness enthusiasts and 
good timers of all ages, combines fitness and dancing as a way to free 
the mind, body and spirit.
Recall Kaffy held a similar workshop in London last month where she 
explained the purpose of the class 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 wanted 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 pr*stitute and everything.”
She also gave the attendees advice on lifelong decisions saying “I 
studied Civil Engineering. I’m a Mathematics 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.”
