The event organized by the QDanceCenter – Lagos, had in participation over 100 artists representing over 30 cities globally.

The 4th edition of the annual gathering slated to take place from the 6th to the 19th of April, went virtual due to the COVID-19 crisis around the world and the resulting travel restrictions.
