Prince “M.I.K.” Ofori, the Ghanaian-born, Berlin-based artiste, has been recognised for his meaningful contributions to the dance industry.

At the prestigious Ghana Dance Industry Awards (GHADI Awards) held at the National Theatre in Accra, on February 8th 2025, Prince M.I.K. he received an award for Street Dance Culture Ambassador—a well-deserved honour that highlights his impact on dance culture both in Ghana and internationally.

Moving to Berlin as a teenager, Prince M.I.K. navigated cultural barriers through his passion for dance and music. Over the years, he has become an important figure in the German cultural scene, as an organiser, DJ, artistic director and dancer. As the founder of M.I.K Family he has helped shape the street dance scene in Germany, especially when it comes to Krump.

Besides his personal career, Prince has a strong bond to his community. He is the chairman of MINCE e.V., an NGO that focuses on anti-discriminatory youth work through black dance cultures. He’s also the co-organizer of CDC Festival - Europe’s most conscious festival for Black Dance Culture over the past 10 years – which has become a meeting point for African and Caribbean dance artists.

This year’s edition, the 11th CDC festival is scheduled to come off in Berlin from May 28th to June 1st 2025. Through these activities, he’s made a lasting impact on the black street dance industry.

Dressed for the occasion: Prince M.I.K. was a standout presence at this year’s GHADI Awards in BOYEDOE clothing - a nod to his commitment to promoting Ghanaian talent in all forms.

Winning the Street Dance Culture Ambassador Award marks a special moment for him, further validating the importance of street dance culture as a powerful tool for artistic and social expression and empowerment.

With this latest recognition, Prince M.I.K. continues to solidify his legacy as a cultural bridge-builder in the global dance scene. He is currently planning to have a partnership deal with Dancetera, organisers of the Ghana Dance Festival, to create a meritorious system that selects the best talent, year-on-year, to participate in the CDC Festival in Europe. This project, will be led by Robert Klah, a seasoned dance promoter with footprints across Africa, and it is expected to take place from 2026.
