Award-winning Ghanaian dancer and choreographer who performs under the stage name Dancegod Lloyd has shed light on how he chooses songs for viral dance challenges, disclosing that he often turns down numerous requests from artists.
Speaking on the Top Secret segment of NF Studio, the creative genius behind King Promise’s viral “Terminator” dance said he is highly intentional about the music he works with.
According to Lloyd, his decisions are strongly influenced by the responsibility he feels toward the young audience that looks up to him.
“I have rejected a lot of songs. A lot of kids look up to me, so if the content of the song does not make sense, like with the lyrics, if they are too profane, I won’t do it,” he explained.
He added that beyond lyrical content, he also considers whether the rhythm naturally lends itself to choreography.
“Even when a song has acceptable content, the process of creating a trend doesn’t always flow. Sometimes I struggle to match dance steps to the rhythm, and if it doesn’t feel right, I don’t force it,” Lloyd admitted.
