“I took to dancing to improve my mental health”– Kaffy reveals.

Renowned Nigerian professional dancer Kafayat Oluwatoyin Shafau, also known as Kaffy, revealed that she began dancing as a way to enhance her mental well-being.

The dancer described how, being raised by a single parent, she sought comfort in dancing.

She went on to explain how she later developed her dance abilities into a fitness-oriented activity at the Lagos State National Stadium with the goal of “bringing vitality to people’s lives.”

She said;

“Before I even thought of dancing as a profession, I always saw it as something to help me with my mental health.“And growing up in that average Nigerian household, you have divorced parenting. You are trying to navigate through life as a young teenager. Dancing was the art form in which I found solace. I used it as an escape to somewhere I could become something.

“And when I related with others in the social environment, I found out that people needed some escape. I started exploring that at the national stadium until I found the entertainment space.”
