A group of Nigerian street children have been transformed into celebrities thanks to a viral dance video that attracted the attention of singer Rihanna and supermodel Naomi Campbell. The `Dream Catchers` were seen in a video earlier this year dancing like double-jointed puppets in front of a battered red bus on wasteground. Not long ago, the six boys and six girls aged six to 16 had no idea about choreography. Now they`re dancing in the video of Nigerian singer Amada`s hommage to the country`s Super Eagles, who are playing in the World Cup football finals in Russia. `What we`ve done this year is huge. We have gone very, very far,` said Seyi Oluyole, 26, the group`s dance teacher and tutor. In early March, she posted the latest video of her smiling prodigies on the Dream Catchers` Instagram page, wiggling along to an Afrobeat tune from popstar Wizkid.
