Ghanaian dancer, Prince ‘M.I.K.’ Ofori
Berlin-based Ghanaian dancer and artiste, Prince ‘M.I.K.’ Ofori, has been recognised for his meaningful contributions to the dance industry.
This acknowledgement took place at the prestigious Ghana Dance Industry Awards (GHADI Awards) held at the National Theatre in Accra on 8 February 2025.
Moving to Berlin as a teenager, Prince M.I.K. navigated cultural barriers through his passion for dance and music. Over the years, he has become an important figure in the German cultural scene as an event organiser, DJ, artistic director, and dancer.
As the founder of the M.I.K Family, he has helped shape the street dance scene in Germany, especially when it comes to Krump.
Besides his personal career, Prince has a strong bond with his community. He is the chairman of MINCE e.V., an NGO that focuses on anti-discriminatory youth work through Black dance cultures. He is also the co-organiser of the CDC Festival – Europe’s most conscious festival for Black Dance Culture over the past 10 years – which has become a meeting point for African and Caribbean dance artistes.
This year’s edition, the 11th CDC Festival, is scheduled to take place in Berlin from 28 May to 1 June 2025. Through these activities, he has made a lasting impact on the Black street dance industry.
Prince M.I.K. was a standout presence at this year’s GHADI Awards in BOYEDOE clothing – a nod to his commitment to promoting Ghanaian talent in all forms. Winning the Street Dance Culture Ambassador Award marks a special moment for him, further validating the importance of street dance culture as a powerful tool for artistic and social expression and empowerment.
With this latest recognition, Prince M.I.K. continues to solidify his legacy as a cultural bridge-builder in the global dance scene.
He is currently planning to enter a partnership deal with Dancetera, organisers of the Ghana Dance Festival, to create a meritorious system that selects the best talent year-on-year to participate in the CDC Festival in Europe.
This project, which will be led by Robert Klah, a seasoned dance promoter with footprints across Africa, is expected to take place in 2026.
