Danita Yeboah Akosua Adomaah (professionally known as Afronita) is a Ghanaian dancer and choreographer.[1] She was a contestant and won third place in the seventeenth edition of Britain's Got Talent, together with her dance partner and mentee, Abigail.

Early Life

edit

Afronita is an alumni of Wesley Girls Senior High School.[2]

Career

edit

She discovered dance at the age of 12, but began dancing professionally when she joined Dance With Purpose (DWP) Academy, co-created by DanceGod Lloyd at the age of 14.[3] After leaving DWP Academy, she auditioned for the seventeenth Britain's Got Talent with her mentee and winner of TV3's "Talented Kids", Abigail.[4] They became the first Ghanaian homegrown talent to participate in the show.[5] They went on to place third at the grand finale of the show.[6]

Leaving DWP

edit

In January 2024, Afronita announced her exit from DWP which came as a surprise to many. DWP released a press statement in this regard to officially announce her exit.[7] According to Quables, DWP co-founder during a Kwadwo Sheldon interview, Afronita left due to feud with Afronita's mother who made requests that Afronita be managed by DWP ahead of another DWP dancer, Endurance Grand.[8]
