Their performance left the audience cheering and the judges with their mouths wide open in awe.

On Saturday, the Trojans dance group emerged the overall winner of the NTV sting hot-steps dance competitions at Kati Kati Restaurant in Kampala.

Flaunting mesmerizing choreography and stunts, from regional competitions up country to the finale, the group which started out their dance journey seven years back, not only slayed in style and creativity but also won hearts and proved to be an inspiration for all.

The dance competition is a brainchild of NTV and was this time backed by Pepsi’s Sting Energy drink brand. It’s a competition organized to search for the finest dancers across the country. There were auditions from across the country as NTV and Sting put together an enthusiastic team to find the finest of dancers.
