SPAN

The Society for the Performing Arts of Nigeria (SPAN) hold a monthly event to showcase dance artistry. It holds at the end of every month at Freedom Park, Lagos Island. Admittance is N200, which is super-affordable for you, dear reader, to attend. They invite dancers and other dance-troupes to put on a display and it always ends with the organizers inviting the audience to come in and dance.
I know some of the dancers from a while back (no, I never danced. I'm totally uncoordinated, lol). So it was fun attending the first showcase. They featured a children's troupe which put on  the yoruba Bata dance.

 

Those kids were, gosh, SO freaking talented! They had energy for 20 grown men, and they were graceful and pretty amazing.

SPAN members put on a fusion of latin, contemporary and hiphop dance, ending very dreamily.

All in all, a very good night. You should make a date to attend. End of every month, see you there.
