Ghanaian dancer and choreographer Laud Anoo Konadu, popularly known as Dancegod Lloyd, has revealed that his most rewarding moment as a dancer yet has been with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government.

He was responding to the question, "What is the biggest gig you've got so far?"

The talented dancer responded, “Going to Dubai to work with the UAE government. It brought me a lot of money. It changed my whole account.

He, however, did not disclose exactly how much he received.

Talking about his lowest income so far on the Konnected Minds podcast, he said, “The least is 50 cedis. I was given 50 cedis as compensation,” he stated.

Dancegod has recounted how, despite working with top artists in Ghana, he struggled to make ends meet.

“I got carried away with the fact that I was working with top, top artists in Ghana. I was not making any bread. I thought I was just helping, and I was making a name for myself. But I realised, there was nothing coming into my pocket,” he said.

He added that the artistes he was working with were succeeding and making money, but they sidelined him and failed to support his growth. “And these people were getting, like, amazing streams, you know, getting shows everywhere, and nobody cared about me. How I’m going to make money, they didn’t care,” he added.

Dancegod Lloyd recently highlighted his significant role in shaping the careers of many emerging dancers in the country.

In an appearance on Channel One TV’s The Chat, Dancegod Lloyd shared that his greatest achievement lies in mentoring new talent within the dance community.

He mentioned influential dancers like Alo Danny, Sugar, and Latifa, among others, who have benefited from his guidance.

“Helping others succeed is what I’m most proud of. Almost every new dancer you see today has been mentored by me,” he stated.

As a co-founder of the Dance With Purpose Academy (DWPA), Dancegod Lloyd is now gearing up to launch a new dance school, Dance, Grow, and Live (DGL).
