A young Nigerian child who is studying to be a professional dancer and whose unusual trip to a British dance academy is being documented by Disney visited the Queen Consort Camilla on Tuesday.

Two years after leaving the huge metropolis of Lagos, 13-year-old Anthony Madu is enrolled at the Elmhurst Ballet Academy in Birmingham, central England.

During her visit to Elmhurst for the school’s centennial celebrations, the Queen Consort wished him “good luck” and enquired about his interest in dance.

Subsequently, pictures of Camilla and Madu were released by Buckingham Palace.

A great day in the West Midlands, the palace proclaimed. The Queen Consort celebrated the school’s centennial with the faculty, staff, and students of @elmhurstballetschool.

Among the students was Nigerian ballet dancer Anthony Mmesoma Madu, who received a scholarship to the School in 2020 after a video of him dancing barefoot in the rain went viral online.”
