Second on the list is Incredible Zigi.

This would be a topic to be debated on. That’s because some people rate Incredible Zigi over Dancegod Llyod whilst others favour Dancegod ahead of Incredible Zigi.

Number one on the list is Dancegod Lloyd.

This would differ or contradict with a lot of people’s thought. But this is decision made based on a few reasons. But if you have other thoughts too you can share with us in the comment section below.Laud Anoo Konadu is the birth name of Dancegod Lloyd. He was born on 25th May 1992. He is a graduate of PRESEC, Legon. He is the Cofounder of the Dance with Purpose Academy in Accra. This Academy has also been set up in the USA and Dubai. I selected Dancegod Llyod as first on the list because of some achievements he has. These includes signing deals with brands, featuring music videos and others. He featured in the original music video of Beyoncé’s ‘Already’. This song also featured Shatta Wale and Major Lazor in 2019. So with all these coming together I decided to pick Dancegod as the best dancer in Ghana currently.
