What you need to know:

  • The dance teacher celebrated his nomination through his Twitter page posting: “The dance classes are the brain child of Anno's Africa, a UK-based charity that offers arts education to different schools in Nairobi slums.”
  • Mr Wamaya dropped out of high due to financial constraints, but a chance to audition with the visiting Kenya Performing Arts Group enabled him to move to Nairobi and study dance.

A Kenyan teacher is once again in the race for a Sh100million global prize.

Mr Michael Wamaya, a dance teacher at the Spurgeons Academy Kibera, K.A.G School Kibera and in Valley View School in Mathare has been listed among top 50 best teachers who will be eyeing for the prize by the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2017.
