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.
