Dancegod Lloyd, renowned for his dynamic performances, has announced plans to establish a new dance academy called Dance, Grow, and Live (DGL).
After parting ways with his previous group, DWP, Lloyd has formed his own dance ensemble. The new team has been actively engaging in the dance scene, launching a series of dance challenges set to popular tracks like Kidi’s ‘Lomo Lomo’ and King Promise’s ‘Terminator.’
They have also showcased their skills at various events.
Initially apprehensive about potential betrayals, Lloyd took time to reflect and pray before fully committing to his new team. His decision to move forward and invest in nurturing their talent came after careful consideration.
In an interview on Joy Prime’s afternoon program, Changes, on Friday, Lloyd shared insights into how he successfully built his new team and navigated the challenges of this transition.
“It started off with King Promise’s performance at TGMA. I was asked to call people. So, I reached out to Danny and others to help me and they did. After the performance I was like do I let them go?
Because I saw real talents. Do I want to be betrayed? But I just allowed myself and prayed to God about it and look at us hear,” he said.
Initially starting with a small team of just five dancers, Dancegod Lloyd’s group has expanded to around twenty members. This growth has inspired him to establish a dance academy, aiming to cultivate and discover new talent.
Drawing from his previous experiences, Lloyd is now more prudent in his professional interactions.
To ensure the smooth operation of his new venture, he has enlisted the help of specialists, including legal experts, to manage the business side, allowing him to concentrate on the artistic direction.
“I was scared in the beginning but now there’s a structure. I have a lot of people that are helping me with this thing. I know I’m really good with young talents and taking care of them but I can’t do everything myself. I have lawyers and people who are really invested in businesses.
So now it’s more like a business than just having fun. So, I think about the art and the other people think about the business. It’s a school,” he added.
