Most worldly dance steps started from church —Dayo Emmanuel

Gospel musician and saxophonist, Dayo Emmanuel, has claimed that most of the dance steps currently gaining traction in the secular world actually started from the church. This comes against the backdrop of insinuations that gospel artistes should not indulge in dance steps such as ‘zanku’ and ‘shaku shaku’.

Recall that popular gospel singer, Tope Alabi, was thoroughly bashed on the Internet sometime ago for dancing ‘shaku shaku’ at her father’s funeral.

Baring his mind on the issue, Emmanuel told Sunday Scoop, “Most of the worldly dancing steps we are talking about started from the church. They just modernised it. When we were young, we danced in church with different steps called ‘geography’. However, many churches have cancelled that. I believe that anybody can dance whatever style that goes with their music.”

The saxophonist, who is presently working on his album, also stated that though the COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges to his career, he was able to pull through with the help of God. He said, “The COVID-19 pandemic was very tough for me and it really affected most musicians around the world. But God sustained us and we are still here. I thank God that things are starting to open up.”

A lot of musicians and church leaders are leading their congregations to hell, because they cannot change their sure means of becoming billionaires.
