| Nwaeze family |
The curtains fell for the Oladapo
and Nwaeze families as they became the second set of families to exit the
ongoing Maltina Dance All (MDA 8) family dance show.
A statement sent to SHOWBIZPLUSng stated that they were evicted after being put
up for possible eviction from the ‘Rhythm
of Naija’ and ‘New Age’ dance performances.
It was with tears that they now joined the Leonard and Maisamari families who left the show last week.
The three judges
- Muyiwa
Oshinaike, Jeffery Page and Comfort Fedoke -
had carefully deliberated on the families that will be put up for possible eviction. The Uzodinma and Utere familieshad earlier been selected for possible eviction alongside the Oladapo and Nwaeze families who were earlier
selected after their below the bar performances at the two performance shows.
The four families had to come back on stage to finetune
their routinesin the ‘Rhythm of Naija’ and ‘New Age’ dance performance to maintain their slots in the academy.
The
tension in the hall was evident as the four families took to the stage one
after the other to keep their dreams alive. The families competed first to the
‘Rhythm of Naija’ dance style. First on stage was Uzodinma family who performed
to Lil Kesh’s Shoki followed by the
Nwaeze family who upped the tempo with their dance rendition to MC Galaxy’s Sekem. The Utere family who were next up
on stage danced to Skales Shake Body
whilst the Oladapo family who performed last, danced to Runtown’s Gallardo.
For
the New age dance performance, the Nwaeze family opened the dance floor after
which the Uzodinma family followed with a performance which got both the
audience and judges off their seats. Next up on stage was the Oladapo family
while the Utere family capped off the exciting night with an amazing
performance dancing to Egwu, a song
by Flavour.
After
all the families had put in their best performances it was then decision time
as two families had to be evicted. After careful and very thorough
deliberations, the judges were unanimous in their verdict as they were simply
not impressed with the performances of the Oladapo and Nwaeze families who were
thus evicted from the Maltina academy.
Comfort
Fedoke who commented on the routines, said most
of the families who have participated at the eviction showdown always come back
to the stage with so much vibrancy and determination; as she applauded them for
their Rhythm of Naija performances.
Muyiwa
Osinaike, - the oldest judge on the show - while commenting on the dance steps
- enjoined the families to perfect the act of chorography to suite the songs as
this bring about the enjoyment the audience desire to see on the show.
Prior to the eviction showdown, the Oladapo family -who have
been up for
possible eviction for the second time -promised to
fight their way back as they assured the judges and the audience that they will come
back the next day to give their best and maintain their spot in the academy. But they were unable to impress the
judges with their performance which earned them their ticket home.
Senior Brand Manager Maltina Mr.
Wole Adedeji said Maltina
Dance All is one way among many that NB Plc is restating its brand values. “MDA
is about the dancer’s creative ability, knowledge of different dance styles,
stamina and fitness. The task is no doubt enormous but it is a delight to see
the result it has been producing in the last 7 seasons. Some
of the dancers have taken their career further than the Maltina Dance All
stage; while some are dancing locally others are doing it internationally”. He revealed.
