Professional dancer, Kafayat Oluwatoyin Shafau, popularly known as Kaffy, has shared her journey of how dancing played a crucial role in enhancing her mental well-being.
In an interview with Channels TV, Kaffy elaborated on how dancing became an escape for her during her formative years.
According to her, growing up in a single-parent household, she discovered solace and comfort in the art of dancing.
She said she later advanced her dancing skills into a fitness awareness exercise at the Lagos State National Stadium to “give people life.”
According to her: “Before I even thought of dancing as a profession, I always saw it as something to help me with my mental health.

“And growing up in that average Nigerian household, you have divorced parenting. You are trying to navigate through life as a young teenager. Dancing was the art form in which I found solace. I used it as an escape to somewhere I could become something.
“And when I related with others in the social environment, I found out that people needed some escape. I started exploring that at the national stadium until I found the entertainment space.”
