In Nigeria, The Leap of Dance Academy is changing that stereotype with an African flair! The academy has come into "limelight" all thanks to a viral video of one of its students, 11 year-old Anthony Mesoma Madu.
The uplifting video of Anthony dancing against all the "odds" in the rain attracted global fame for the young talent. He has now been featured in major news outlets and offered ballet scholarships, including one at the prestigious American Ballet Theater in New York.
ARISE News' @OjyOkpe met up with founder of The Leap of Dance Academy, Daniel Ajala, and spent a few hours with some of the students who shared their story.
