The excitement at the Toto Christmas Festival reached new heights as young performers lit up the stage during the much-anticipated dancing competition.
Cheers from parents, siblings, and supporters echoed across the Kampala Parents’ Sports Grounds as the children showcased impressive talent, energy and creativity.
The competition, one of the festival’s most vibrant attractions, drew dozens of hopeful contestants, but only seven emerged as the standout stars of the day, each walking away with a cash prize and a boost of confidence that will stay with them long after the music stops.
Taking the top spot was Tracy Mbabazi, who danced her way to victory and walked off with sh500,000. Tracy has been in middle class at Grammar Nursery and Primary School and is joining top class this year.
Her performance, full of rhythm, expression, and crowd-winning charm, left both judges and spectators in awe. In second place was Alisha Namulawa, who impressed with her flair and stage presence, earning herself sh300,000. Close behind was Rehema Namubiru, whose spirited routine secured her the third-place prize of sh100,000.
The competition’s fourth to seventh place winners also shone brightly, each taking home sh100,000 for their outstanding participation:
- Number 4: Sharuwah Namukwaya – sh100,000
- Number 5: Esther Wamasiko – sh100,000
- Number 6: Patience Achieng – sh100,000
- Number 7: Patricia Mirembe – sh100,000
For many of these children, the festival offers more than just prizes; it is a rare platform to express themselves, build confidence, and enjoy the thrill of performing before a large, supportive audience.
Parents beamed with pride as their children’s names were announced, with some capturing the moment on their phones while others simply celebrated with loud cheers.
Organised by Vision Group, this year’s Toto Christmas Festival, sponsored by Ruparelia Group, Sumz, NIRA, Toyota, Pepsi, and Indomie, continues to deliver opportunities for fun, learning, and recognition, all at an affordable entry fee of only sh10,000.
For the young winners, it was a day to remember. For the festival, it was yet another reminder of the abundant talent in Uganda’s youngest stars.
