Who’s Cinci; where is she coming from and where is she going?
·
I am Cynthia Cinci Ezekiels, a
professional dancer/ choreographer and a video vixen. In my early 20s, an Ijaw
from Bayelsa state. I am the last child of my parents. I started dancing
from a very tender age, and professionally since 2004. I have worked with
all the Nigerian celebrity artistes and still working with them. I have also
worked with top directors and international artistes like Brandy, Mario,
Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige, Fat Joe, Usher and many others. I believe in dreams
and I don’t let words bring me down. I see my self working with top celebrities
abroad more.
.
At home, I have done videos with top
Nigerian celebrity artistes like Tuface Idibia, D’banj, P-square, J.
Martins, Iyanya, Timaya, Terry G ,VIP of Ghana, Omawumi, May D, Samklef, Burna
Boy, Olamide and so many others.
·
What made you choose dancing as a
career instead of acting or even singing?
·
Dancing is an act too. What we do
is interpret the song with dancing, pass a sort of message with our
dancing, so,it is an act of its own. Whenever I am dancing I imagine myself in
another world, a world of peace and bliss. I have so much passion for it that
it brings me joy whenever I am doing it. I can’t see myself doing any other
thing. This is my dream and I have followed my heart to my dream.
·
But don’t you think you would be
more popular and maybe richer as an actress, model or singer?
·
I choose dancing because I am
blessed with it. I didn’t learn how to dance, it is a talent God blessed
me with, and I don’t intend to let it go. Dancing is my passion, I followed my
dream and I believe it would have been a sin not to explore and put to test my
God-given talent. Possibly, I might look into other aspects of entertainment
later in life but for now I am having a ball with my dancing career.
·
What does it take to make it to be a
top video vixen?
·
To make it as a professional dancer
you have to carve out your own style; be different and evolve your own
uniqueness that sets you aside from others. This job is like a never-ending
competition so you must always be on top of your game. It is a job where you
pay attention to every little detail of your life and you can’t afford slipping
for a minute; either in the way you look or how you package yourself. Yes, you must
be beautiful, have the right attitude. If you are not fine and you don’t have
the face you can’t be a vixen. To be a vixen you must be sexy and know how to
move. Sometimes when we go for auditioning, regardless of the fact that you
have been overworked or stressed out only three girls out of over thirty could
be chosen for a job. That is how challenging this job is. And sometimes the
costumes brought by the stylist might not fit the lead girl and whoever
the costume fits among the major girls will take the role of the lead girl.
In the course of doing your job
haven’t you come up against sexual harassment?
·
Yes I have but most times it comes
from the fans and I know how to handle that with care. But most importantly,
how you carry yourself matters a lot. You must have air about you that convey
seriousness about what you want. It is always strictly business for me, no
familiarity. When I am on set, I do my business and leave as soon as I am
done
·
But the way you girls expose
vital parts of the body can be tempting
.
Yes it is, but it is for the
cameras, not our own doing, it is what the director wants and we must deliver.
·
You have worked with many
popular artistes, which one of them has been particularly memorable?
·
D’ Banj, MI, Tuface Idibia, Terry G,
Faze, Banky W, Davido and some others
·
Why are you called video vixen and
what is the difference with being a choreographer?
·
Vixen is a video model who can move
sexy and can make use of her body when she sees the camera (camera
friendly) and it doesn’t matter the size of the model; fat or tin, and
must play any role given to her by the director. But Choreographer
can be defined as a person or an individual who merges two or more movements to
make a dance routine or a choreographer can also be defined as one who is
skilled and has the ability to create and arrange movements within a large
number of individuals. I am called a vixen because I know the job, my job
as a video model (vixen), I am hot, sexy, camera friendly with cute face
and hot body, and then, I can move.
·
Do you have to be sexy to be a
successful video vixen?
·
Yes of course, to be a vixen you
have to be extremely hot and sexy.
·
What are your selling points?
·
My face, first of all, then my
complexion and my figure. My backside is not too big so I can control it
according to the song or the beat . People know me particularly well for
the way I use my backside to dance.
