Adjetey Sowah, a former world dance champion, has revealed that he prioritized dancing over education during his youth because of the substantial income he earned from his dance performances.
He explained that his exceptional dancing skills led to numerous event organizers in Accra inviting him to perform, and he made sure he was compensated before accepting their invitations.
Sowah admitted that the significant income he generated from dancing led him to neglect his education and instead concentrate on his dancing career.
“Back in the day all the dancing competitions that were going on from 1984, even though I was part of the event, I had collected my money already. I was making money out of it [dancing] that is the reason why I did not take my education seriously,”he said.
He added, “All around the country, Tamale, everywhere I mean Accra alone, sometimes on weekends, there is a lot of competition maybe 8 or 9 events. I am part of everything and before I go, I collect money first. I go everywhere including Dansoman, Teshie, Circle, Spark Centre, Apollo Theatre. I will be there and after doing my bid, I go to another place, perform, collect my money, and come back.
