## Caption

You might remember anthonymadu_ from a video that went viral in June 2020. Shared to millions on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) by celebrities like violadavis and cynthiaerivo, the video captured an 11-year-old Madu dancing barefoot and in the rain on a backstreet of Nigeria—and even then, the elements couldn’t dampen his lofty ballon. 

Soon, millions more will get a glimpse of not just Madu’s talent but his story. Head to the link in dancespiritmagazine’s bio to learn about “Madu,” the new show on disneyplus debuting on March 29 that follows the young dancer’s journey from Lagos to Birmingham, and the highs and lows of settling into the rigorous dance classes, academics, and social life at elmhurstballetschool, where he currently trains. We caught up with the star of the film about moving away from his family, his career aspirations, and what he hopes other dancers take away from the documentary. 💖
