I didn’t plan to bring my son on stage –Kaffy

Nigerian dancer, Kafayat Shafau-Ameh, aka Kaffy, explained that it was not her intention to allow her five-year-old son, Sean, to join her on stage at the recently held Buckwyld ‘N’ Breathless concert at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
While Tiwa Savage was performing, Sean joined his mother and other dancers on stage. The crowd couldn’t ignore the little boy’s mastery of the dance routine.
But the queen of dance, as she is fondly called, told Sunday Scoop that she didn’t plan to have her son on stage that night.

 
Kaffy said, “I was proud of him. But it was not planned; I didn’t choose the occasion for him. He attended the show and it was something that he had done during rehearsals. Tiwa saw him in the crowd and asked him to come on stage. It was just a spontanous incident. If I wanted him to perform, he would have come out on stage with us.”
She believes her son should do as he pleases, stressing that she will never force him to do anything he doesn’t want to do.
The dance queen added, “It is early to have the mindset that he would pursue dancing as a career or not. I train children in my company and all the children usually go out to perform once in a while. So, dancing is part of them; it is not something that is new or should be taken beyond what it is.
“If your son performs well as a dancer during a play in school, does that automatically make him a dancer in the future? I think no. He is just having fun at the moment as a child. Whatever children do, our job as parents is to encourage them because we can never tell where it will take them to; and that is what I am doing.  You’ve only seen the dance part of him; he is an amazing child who is doing well in school.
