Maltina Dance All: 13 contestants in Lagos

The final rounds of the Maltina Dance All has drawn closer, as the 13 families that emerged from the 25 that participated in the qualifying segment have arrived in Lagos.

“The families, who came from different locations across the country, were in high spirits as they touched down at the domestic wing of Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, for the academy.

“A breakdown of the families that made it as released by the brand, showed that Ebenezer, Briggs, Asiyefia, Tom, Ikumoinien, Dosa, Clement, Ibrahim, Ebute, Ekado, Ibeatuchie, Nweribe and Idundun families – having passed the necessary medical and other screenings – made it into the academy and were deemed fit to compete,” the organisers say in a statement.

They add that a further screening will reduce the number from 13 to 10, who will eventually qualify for the entry into the academy after going through the rigours of another screening at the ‘’Pre Ground Audition Evaluation’’. The academy commences on September 1, 2013.

The sum of N6m and a brand new car are at stake in this season’s competition. The first and second runners-up will take home N1, 000,000 and N500, 000 respectively.
