  • T- SOD is an entertainment dance group, based here in Kaduna 

Judith: Please, introduce yourselves?                 
T-SOD: We are The Salt of Dance(T-SOD), an entertainment group with a Vision 'To dorminate all parts of  Nigeria with music and dance art' and a Mission 'To provide quality entertainment to the society at large and a drug free entertainment opportunity to its youth' and our Motto is 'Diversity is our concern'.

Joseph T-SOD: Individually we are from different states, but talking about T-SOD, we are all from Kaduna State. Our talent as a group is Music and Dance Art.                                                                    
Judith: Which is more challenging, a solo or group dance?                                             
Richard T-SOD: Group dance, because everybody have to dance like the choreographer, and this is a times most difficult. But we are working on having the same body movement.                                                    

Judith: Thinking back to your early days, what was your first dance performance as a group like?                                     
 Jaja T-SOD: Our first performance as a group was actually in a dance competition which was held in Abuja Nigeria where we faced other dance professionals, but emerged fourth in the contest.                                                            
Judith: How would you describe your art/entertainment for the public audience?                                                 
T-SOD: We see the combination of our art as a cross cultural and religious bridge to be used as a medium to reach out and entertain people across the globe, that is why we are working closely with the government and private bodies to bring this combination of art(Music and Dance) to lime light.                                                              

Judith: Your most embarrassing moment?     
T-SOD: Our most embarrassing moment was when we lost the 2014 K-Pop Dance competition in Abuja, we where surprised that we didn't even come third place and we where all embarrassed when we saw that we came fourth.                                                             
Judith:  Have you ever entered any contests? If so, describe your experience. What was the outcome? Would you enter another contest in the future?                  Jaja T-SOD: Yes we have, we entered for the 2014 K-pop dance competition and came fourth place; and the entered the 2015 K-pop dance competition aagain and emerged first place which  gave us the ticket to represent Nigeria in South Korea in November 2015. The experience was great because it gave us an avenue to meet alot of people from different countries and also we hope to enter another promising contest in the future.
Judith: How long have you been together as a group?                                                      Joseph T-SOD: The group T-SOD has been together for 2years now.
