Oladotun And His New School Dance Set To Return With Energy Concert


In the Nigerian dancing and choreography industry, Agboola Olatundun has been one of the emerging dancers who is characterized by his fearless, confident and versatile nature. 


The Ibadan born and bred dancer is also a choreographer and dance instructor 



Speaking with him was as interesting as it was eye-opening; he really is an authority in his field.


He discussed with TROG World Media his educational background and the “biggest dance concert in Africa”, Tagged “ENERGY”.




While speaking with the Media outlet, he explained how he developed fierce passion for dancing, with gusto, he goes, “Dance is my other half. 


Watching Michael Jackson while growing up, he inspired my first love and since then, it became so difficult for me to part with the act”. He joined Royal Dancers in 2005 which marked a significant push towards the path of a professional dancer and since then, he has been gathering a lot of buzz.


He also spoke about the need to be consistent in whatever one does and how it’s those who stick to the end that make the most out of a craft.



He has worked with varieties of well-established Artistes in Nigeria which include but not limited to, Zlatan (Unripe pawpaw), Chinko Ekun (Able God), Yinka Ayefele MFR, Yetunde Are etc 


Furthermore, he sheds light on the “biggest dance competition in Africa”, ENERGY which is proudly powered by DWOC (Dance With Olatundun CMHouse). This event had its maiden edition in 2019 and it was a banger! The event took us through the chronicles of dance  and the different eras and cultures that affected such! It was a movie!!!
