Prizes are up for grabs for six dance groups ahead of the grand finale of Urutozi Challenge Dance competition on December 30, at Club Rafiki Youth Centre.

The six finalists for the second edition are African Mirror, Indaro Crew, KTY, Dance Crew, Urban Dance, Family Dikelo and IMD.

Organised by Urutozi Gakondo, the contest is part of the fashion house’s move to not only support dance among local choreography talents but also promote the best of its Made in Rwanda fashion products designed by its own designers.

Urutozi’s growth on the local fashion scene has been enjoying an incredible rise since its inception in 2020, as its collections continue to attract the attention of fashion enthusiasts in Kigali.

The overall winner of the competition will this time bag Rwf1,000,000, second runner up Rwf500, 000 and third runner up Rwf300, 000, which is very different compared to the first edition where the winner of the contest was the only one awarded.

This time, the dancing competition did not only focus on promoting dance and Made in Rwanda products, but also called on youth to stop drug abuse, which is in line with ‘Tunyweless’, the government’s new campaign that seeks to curb the rise of alcohol consumption in the country.

The semi-finals were headlined by rapper Bushali, MC Tino while DJs Lamper and Diallo entertained revelers with the best music selections from their decks.

Another big part of the competition is that all dancers will be rocking Rwandan brands to push the spirit of supporting home fashion brands among the youth.

Entrance at the grand finale is open to the public and free of charge.
