HISTORY: M9 Dance Academy

 In December 7th, 2010, Mattin Clif Eva ( popularly known as M9 ) founded M9 Dance Academy. He was an untalented dancer, boldly written off by most people and termed to fail, especially in an undeveloped dance zone like Nigeria. But he believed otherwise and acted in the direction of his conviction.


He constantly rehearsed to improve his dance skills, God helped him and eventually attained recognition and became significant in his zone. Like most African kids, the passion for ballet was strong but his present environment lacked the basic facilities and materials that can facilitate his development. In this precedented urgly reality, he didn't give up. Instead he changed the reality by creating a dance style that follows some principles of classical ballet and added some vital elements of gymnastics, acrobatic, stunts and modern dance techniques; a dance that is comfortable to his zone, yet maintaining a global standard.

After one year of personal rehearsals, research and experiments, he created a dance style called M9 ballet. From one performance to another, people loved how he danced. And as his fans grew bigger per performance, the need to train people to dance to dance like him and uphold his dance philosophy became a dream. Upon this dream he founded M9 Dance Academy.

The school started with one student in a church space. As time passed by, the number of students increased and by the tail of 2013, the school trained over three thousand dancers across churches, schools, individually and publicly . These dancers have gone on to positively affect their society with dance- some of which are professional dancers in M9 Spotlight ( M9 Dance Company dance TEAM ). 

Before then, people don't take any form of dance seriously in Bayelsa State. But through the impact of M9 Dance Academy, the State started experiencing a rapid dance revolution. People now value dance and could easily enroll in our dance training programs.
