The National Theatre, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, hosted Afronitaaaa, whose real name is Danita Akosua Adoma, upon her return from the Britain’s Got Talent auditions. Afronitaaaa and her protégé, Abigail Adjiri, a hearing-impaired child, received a standing ovation from judges Simon Cowell, Amanda, and Bruno, as well as the audience, with their captivating performance.
The Minister-designate for Tourism, Arts, and Culture, Andrew Egyapa Mercer, commended Afronitaaaa on her bold decision to showcase her talents on the global stage with Abigail and pledged support for various stakeholders in the creative arts industry. Afronitaaaa expressed her gratitude, stating that performing on the world stage was a dream come true for her and Abigail.
Judge Bruno described their choreography as “world-class,” while Judge Amanda praised them as “two of the most fantastic dancers we have ever had on Britain’s Got Talent.” Judge Simon Cowell rated their performance as one of his “favourite auditions of the year.”
Afronitaaaa, a Level 300 student at the University of Ghana, has established her own dance academy and trains young dancers. The National Theatre’s support will undoubtedly help her continue to shine and inspire others in the performing arts sector.
