Dear Dance Industry,

As I engage myself in the execution and conclusion of yet another year, I am greatly convicted to write a report on how the year has been and to simply express my innermost joy on what we as an industry have achieved. We are a young publication and the touch to the issues on the ground is real and profound and that's why this letter is a real reflection of the scenery which is the dance industry. It is quite important that you note this is a friendly letter meant to Dancers, Emcees, Event organizers, Bloggers, Judges, Dance Legends, Investors, Clients and Choreographers.

 

Dancers are great movers and amazing communicators for in their movement they tell great stories and inspire a people, give hope and inform. You are brave while living in this harshest of conditions: no/less pay, horrible treatment, Lack of facilities and space to practice, to mention but a few. A case I point, this competition in Embakasi that was utterly immorally organized and managed. One of the leader of a crew that participated said, “we have spent sleepless nights in practice, canceled shows that would have at least paid good only to be judged unfairly” in such pain he continued, “I would really love to know what the judges were looking for.” The winner of this competition bagged kshs.100,000/= unfairly!! I took all this personally and had to at least point it out from the dancer's point of view. I don't believe in cheating and loathe lies. I will be honest and say that I had approached this “winners” for an interview and when I heard this I immediately withdrawn my intention. It's Albert Einstein who stated that anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried something new, that's why my greatest lesson and warning is to any event organizers or competition judges that Dancepeeps will be a voice to reckon with in the near future, if such reports come to our attention, we will follow them publicly and transparently. With all due respect!

Sad news first and now we dwell on where we made it count. It's an year we realized that even Athletes can dance, that when it comes to saving a political career, our leaders can boogie!

We have seen an increase in the interest and investment in the dance industry. We are a fresh industry with a huge potential and our road to a powerful future is clearly visible. Dance events have seen an increase in attendance, increase in quality of organization and management.

New and powerful crews have emerged, with a clear cut statement of passion, will and great execution. We at Dancepeeps have experienced the best, all credit to dancers and the whole dance industry. History has been made this year.

As we draw near to the festive season please remember to be safe, share with the less fortunate, embrace family and friends though eventually give a special one a dance: dance is a universal language.

We wish you a great time and a graceful new year. Happy holidays

THE FUTURE! Failure to plan is a plan to fail…Dig that

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

 

PS: Thank you for the support you have all shown and we look forward to making you the reader of this blog, informed, entertained and engaged. 

REMEMBER TO SHARE THE LETTER YOU JUST OPENED

 

Greatly humbled
