Sarah Olaniran, AKA Sayrah Chips is one of Nigeria’s most esteemed dancers today. Born in 1996 to two Nigerian parents, she started her dancing career at an early age under the tutelage of veteran dancer, Kaffy. She’s since dedicated her life to promote dance as a responsible and lucrative profession as a certified professional from the society for the performing art of Nigeria and a dance graduate from The Columbia College. At 25, she is already highly accomplished, having toured alongside global pop stars like Chris Brown, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage and more.
