Sakata 3 is officially here

The battle for the top dance group officially commenced yesterday after the culmination of a far-reaching auditions. This year’s competition saw groups drawn from different parts the country taking part in the auditions but only 42 groups made the cut.

This year’s event will see the energetic hit-maker Size 8 and the sensational DJ Crème de la Crème host the show taking over from Wahu. As for the panel of judges, Wyre and Ian, (not that of TPF!!) make a comeback to the show, and are joined by Bermuda. She is from the Caribbean and not much is known about her.

Papa Shirandula’s Kawira has taken on Jalango’s role to introduce the guests. Her wit and charm is enviable and this was evident when she came on stage to perform a jig upon which the crowd went wild with cheers.

Sakata Dance Competition has always been termed as Kenya’s “So You Think You Can Dance?” and “America’s Best Dance Crew” though in terms of financial muscle, it still has a long way to go.

Anyhow, it seems it will be an interesting watch…
