Kaffy dance queen biography days of lives

At a time when becoming a singer was the in thing for most young people, Kafayat Oluwatoyin Shafau-Ameh, popularly known as Kaffy, chose to dance. By , when she led her dance group to break the Guinness Book of Record for Longest Dance Party after they danced for 55hours and 40minutes, it became obvious that a dancing queen has emerged. By the way, I have broken a few other records.

Before then, I used to wonder how everyone else in the industry overlooked the efforts of dancers. I wondered aloud if the industry wanted dancers to sing as well before they are honoured; I never knew the industry was watching me. This is why consistency is key in everything one does. Meanwhile, year is a remarkable one for dancer Kaffy.

Aside her 40th birthday, which comes up in June, the year also marks her 20 years on stage as a professional dancer.
