Alvin Otieno reveals significance and origin of his dancing skills

Kenya men’s national sevens side stalwart Alvin Otieno has opened up on the crucial role dancing plays in calming his nerves adding that teammate Jeffrey Oluoch is the master choreographer.

The Water Buffalo as he is popularly known in rugby circles has set the interwebs ablaze with his intricate dancing styles that have become synonyms with him after scoring a try.

Otieno revealed that he uses dancing to settle his nerves just before games adding that his teammate Oluoch comes up with the dancing styles. 

“It's normal to panic and have butterflies and it shows that you care, I however know how to control it and that is where dancing comes in. When I dance I calm my nerves but I insist that's it's normal to panic,"

"Our dancing styles come from Jeff and I'm a very good student, he's the one who comes up with all the dancing styles because he's a very good dancer, for me, I just try," said Otieno in an interview with Walk With Sagini.

The Homeboyz winger is known for his combative style of rugby as he brushes off opponents seamlessly and leaving them on their bottoms.

Otieno however added that they do not have separate dancing training from the usual team training and also opened up on the choice of dancing style when one gets a try. 

"We don't have a separate training session for dancing and we just have fun after every session, we usually have a speaker and put some music then just have fun while dancing,"

"Someone just showcases the skill that he is capable of and while we are in the changing room, someone picks the style he'll celebrate with once he scores," added Otieno.
