One of the highlights of the opening ceremony of the 13th African Games was the spectacular opening ceremony which saw the display of Ghanaian culture and tradition through an outstanding piece of choreography.

It brought together 600 dancers, most of who for the first time, were exposed to an international event and tasked to tell the Ghanaian story through dance.

The bigger task however was on the shoulders of the lead choreographers or trainers who must ensure that their dancers understood and expressed the story in the best possible way.

The team of choreography trainers were from Russia, Dubai, Brazil and Italy with Michael Sarpong known in showbiz as E-Flex GH, the only Ghana­ian on the team.

The dance educator and choreog­rapher who recruited the dancers and with support from the other nationals went through weeks of train­ing to produce a masterpiece at the opening cer­emony.

Speaking to the Spectator Agoro, E-Flex GH indicated that, it was the largest group of artistes he had to work with for a choreography and delighted they delivered to put Ghana on the global stage.

He said, “It was a dream come true for me as I always wanted to command an inter­national crowd of over 200 peo­ple and the African Games gave me over 500 people.”

“We made history and everyone was happy. We managed to exhib­it the culture and tradition of our people in the Ashanti Region, Volta Region, Northern Region and the Greater Accra Region through dance, which was exceptional,” he stated.

He explained that, from the showcase of Ashanti and Volta region through the Adowa dance and kente, through the Dambai Takai dance of the people of the northern region and the Agbeko and Adjogbo dance of the Volta region among oth­ers, they showcased Ghana to the en­tire continent and the world at large.

“We also formed an umbrella to portray royalty and speak about unity and togetherness. It is also the best for the dancers in terms of performance and remuneration,” he stated.

E-Flex Gh who had been dancing professionally for a decade and toured Europe and other countries around the world to teach African dance said, he was looking forward to the closing ceremony this weekend where they would put up another exceptional performance.
