Robert Klah urges media to spotlight Ghana’s dance industry
The CEO of Dancetera, Robert Klah, has stated that the Ghanaian media does not give enough attention to dancers and the dance industry.
Speaking in an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Robert Klah said that one of the major challenges facing the dance industry is the lack of media support.
According to him, there are very few dedicated programmes or journalists who focus on dance and dance-related stories.
He explained that this lack of attention makes it difficult for dancers to get the recognition they deserve and that dance events often go unnoticed due to poor publicity and lack of funding.
“Mainstream media do not have enough programmes to project dancers. We lack dedicated journalists with an interest in the dance-related activities and a lack of funding for dance-related events, affecting the organisation and publicity of the programmes,” he shared.
Robert also called on the media to move beyond only covering dance competitions.
He believes there should be more content that celebrates dancers and their contributions to Ghanaian culture.
“We need TV shows that celebrate dance beyond competitions. Print and online media must publish articles, interviews and coverage dedicated to dancers and their invaluable contributions. It’s essential for our collective progress,” he stated.
