Who are the Dream Catchers?

The Dream Catcher Dance Group is made of 10 children, seven girls and three boys. They are from Ikorodu in Lagos state. They started dancing as a group since November 2014.

Seyi Oluwole (fondly referred to as Aunty Seyi) is the founder/organizer of the group. She believes in taking kids off the street and using dance to encourage them to stay in school. She started the group as a teenager.

She also runs a non-profit organisation called The Dream Nurture Foundation which provides educational opportunities for children and young adults.  

Oluyole and her team of young talents have been nominated for a couple of awards including the Best Creative Social Enterprise Award via African Creative Exhibition and Awards.
