Renowned Nigerian professional dancer, Kafayat Oluwatoyin Shafau, popularly known as Kaffy, has shared a personal revelation about her journey into dancing, citing mental health improvement as the driving force.

In a recent interview on Channels TV, the dance queen opened up about her background, highlighting how growing up in a single-parent household led her to discover solace and self-expression through dancing.

Kaffy went on to detail how her passion for dance evolved into a fitness awareness initiative at the Lagos State National Stadium. Beyond the artistic expression, she found a way to channel her skills into promoting health and well-being, aiming to "give people life" through the transformative power of dance.

This candid insight into Kaffy's personal and professional evolution sheds light on the therapeutic nature of dance and its positive impact on mental health.

According to her: “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.”
