Dancing for a Cause

Slum to Stage Africa embarked on an unforgettable journey at the African Creative Market, where art, passion, and purpose converged in a celebration of African talent and innovation in Lagos Nigeria. Armed with a mission to empower underprivileged children through the transformative power of dance, our team showcased a collection of captivating dance images, each one a testament to the beauty and resilience of the dancer’s spirit, and captured by A-class photographers like Emmanuel Oyeleke, Seun Oderinde and Habila Sani.

As visitors meandered through the marketplace at Landmark, they were drawn to our art stand, where the beauty of dance-inspired artworks adorned the walls. From graceful port de bras to dynamic leaps, each image captured the essence of movement and expression, inviting viewers to embark on a visual journey through the world of dance. But beyond the aesthetic appeal of the artworks lay a deeper significance: every purchase made at our art stand contributed to a noble cause.

The funds raised would support children in underprivileged communities who dream of dancing but lack the means to access formal training, and support in their school fees. 

Among the notable visitors who graced our art stand were esteemed presence like the FCT Pioneer Mandate Secretary Dayo Benjamin, and award winning photographer Kelechi Amadi-Obi. Also, acclaimed actors like Tobi Bakre, Deyemi Okanlawon, and Joke Silva, perused the artworks with keen interest and admiration. 

As the curtains drew to a close on the African Creative Market, Slum to Stage Executive and Artistic Director Emmanuel Osahor performed alongside the Guinness World Records holder for the longest dance marathon Dr Kaffy.
