Tall model shows off dance skills
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a young model, Unice Wani, wowed many people online with her dance moves.
People could not stop looking at her. Though she is quite tall, the way the camera filming her was placed made her look taller than the fence of a house.
With long smooth-looking legs, the lady moved to the music playing so effortlessly. No wonder her TikTok video had over 2 million views online. People complimented both her long gown and beautiful looks.
