After an intense battle laden with
excitement and suspense, 10 out of the 13 families that were selected from
different regions to take part in the grand auditions have been admitted into
the famed Maltina Dance All (MDA) Academy. These 10 families face the prospect
of going home with a whopping 10 million naira grand prize as well as the
highly coveted title of Nigeria’s number one dancing family. The first and
second runners-up will take home N3million & N1million respectively.
The grand auditions for the Maltina
Dance All Season 8, tagged “Rhythm of Happiness,” kicked-off with a bang as the
Williams family (Port-Harcourt) hit the dance floor with an impressive
performance which set the tone for the evening much to the delight of the
audience. Second on stage was the Odigie family (Abuja), followed by the
families of; Oladapo (Lagos), Maisamari, (Abuja), Utere, (Port-Harcourt), Unaka
(Abuja), Awokoya (Lagos), Uzodinma (Port-Harcourt), Abunwa (Lagos), Dide (Port-Harcourt),
Nwaeze (Lagos), Ezekiel (Abuja) and the Leonard family (Abuja) respectively.
The highpoint of the event was the
announcement of the results. The tension amongst the families was palpable as
the judges read out the results after a very painstaking selection process.
The 10 families that made the cut are;
Oladapo (Lagos), Maisamari, (Abuja), Utere, (Port-Harcourt), Unaka (Abuja),
Uzodinma (Port-Harcourt), Dide (Port-Harcourt), Nwaeze (Lagos), Leonard
(Abuja), Odigie (Abuja) and Williams (Port-Harcourt). The families of; Awokoya
(Lagos), Abunwa (Lagos) and Ezekiel (Abuja) did not make it into the academy.
The selection of these 10 families into
the MDA Academy represents a huge step in their quest to win the 10 million
naira grand prize.
It would be recalled that the
preparation for the MDA8 kicked off with an electrifying performance by the
Maltina all-stars’ team which comprised past participants of the show, while
host OsasIghodaro alongside popular comedians, Gbenga Adeyinka and Lafup introduced
the “Rhythm of Happiness Dance” (ROHD) to the audience that were held
spellbound by the vitality and creativity which has set the show apart from
others.
The MDA 8, which currently airs on AIT (7-8pm) daily, Silverbird TV (9-10 pm) and Ebony Live TV (7pm) weekdays and (8.30pm) weekends, promises to be the most exciting competition ever. The grand finale would be live on AIT and Africa Magic channels on DSTV. Viewers who miss any edition can still catch all the action on YouTube, Facebook and the Maltina Website.
