Popular Ghanaian choreographer Michael Amofa, also known as Incredible Zigi, has expressed his displeasure with how dancers are being treated by music awards schemes.
Speaking in an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM Daybreak Hits monitored by InsightNewsgh.com, Incredible Zigi said dancers need to be recognized by main stream awards organizers on the big platforms.
According to him, dancers are the ones who make musicians songs get global recognition and therefore must also receive the equal recognition during awards night like VGMA or 3Music awards.
“Most of these songs that are blowing and getting recognition in Ghana here, most of them are tailored by dancers. We spend much time on social media, we’re always posting to the songs. Is like the artists are sleeping somewhere and we’re blowing the songs. Dancers need to be recognized by main stream awards,” he said. Incredible Zigi added that music goes hand-in-hand with dancing.

Dancers are consistently undervalued in the entertainment industry, in contrast to musicians, actors, and other artists. In fact, dancers often enthrall audiences even more than musicians do.
Before entering the music industry, Chris Brown, Usher Raymond, and Mr. Drew were all dancers. They all continue to dance in addition to making music, and both of these talents have aided them in becoming some of the biggest artists in the world.
Incredible Zigi is currently one of Africa’s most well-known dancers and specializes in Afro dance and Hip Hop.
