Draft:Afronita

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Danita Yeboah Akosua Adomaah (professionally known as Afronita) is a Ghanaian dancer and choreographer.[1] She was a contestant and won third place in the seventeenth edition of Britain's Got Talent, together with her dance partner and mentee, Abigail.[2]

Early Life[edit]

Afronita is an alumni of Wesley Girls Senior High School.[3]

Career[edit]

She discovered dance at the age of 12, but began dancing professionally when she joined Dance With Purpose (DWP) Academy, co-created by DanceGod Lloyd at the age of 14.[4] After leaving DWP Academy, she auditioned for the seventeenth Britain's Got Talent with her mentee and winner of TV3's "Talented Kids", Abigail.[5] They became the first Ghanaian homegrown talent to participate in the show.[6] They went on to place third at the grand finale of the show.[7]

Leaving DWP[edit]

In January 2024, Afronita announced her exit from DWP which came as a surprise to many. DWP released a press statement in this regard to officially announce her exit.[8] According to Quables, DWP co-founder during a Kwadwo Sheldon interview, Afronita left due to feud with Afronita's mother who made requests that Afronita be managed by DWP ahead of another DWP dancer, Endurance Grand.[9]
