About

Afro-fusion dancer/choreographer Iziegbe 'Izzy' Odigie started dancing as a child growing up in Nigeria. At her boarding school, she participated in weekly break dance competitions with fellow students. This "street dance" experience really sparked her interest in American hip-hop & pop. In 2007, Odigie moved to the States and began seriously pursuing an artistic career. She delved into modeling while in high school before formally taking up dance with a crew known as Enkore. She developed a unique skillset in the hip-hop genre before co-founding her own collective - TRYBE at eighteen. Izzy made her major breakthrough on the Afro-dance scene with a stellar on-stage performance with Eddy Kenzo to his continental hit - "Sitya Loss". She followed this up with other trending choreography, such as her "Eggplant Routine" and "OMG Choreography", that propelled Odigie to the international spotlight.
