HMR News Updates is thrilled to present an exclusive spotlight on VIP Afro-Latin Dancers & Actors (S.A), a groundbreaking dance crew based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Led by the visionary Nonkululeko Jiyana, also known as Nkuli, this dynamic group is revolutionizing the entertainment industry with their fusion of Afro Beats and Latin/Cuban dances. With exceptional talent and versatility, VIP Afro-Latin Dancers are making waves both locally and internationally.

VIP Afro-Latin Dancers is not your average dance crew. They are the first corporatized dance crew in South Africa dedicated to Afro-Latin dance styles. With their expertise in Kizomba, Urban/Ghetto Kizomba, Semba, Bachata, and Cuban Salsa, the crew showcases the diverse cultural influences that shape their performances. These dance genres have roots in countries such as Cape Verde, Angola, Nigeria, and Mozambique, creating a rich tapestry of movement and rhythm.

What truly sets VIP Afro-Latin Dancers apart is their ability to seamlessly incorporate their dance moves with various music genres. This versatility makes them highly sought-after by musicians, event planners, concert organizers, and the film industry. Their performances have become a captivating and unique addition to music videos, film productions, and live events, enchanting audiences with their energy and artistry.

Under the artistic direction of Nkuli Jiyana, VIP Afro-Latin Dancers comprises a talented team of 12 dancers, many of whom are also dance instructors. Their collective expertise and professionalism elevate their performances to new heights. The crew's commitment to their craft and their mission to promote Afro-Latin dance as an expression of cultural unity have earned them recognition and admiration within the industry.

Nkuli Jiyana's personal journey with Afro-Latin dance spans over a decade, and her passion for the art form led her to establish VIP Afro-Latin Dancers. Her vision is to share the joy and cultural richness of Afro-Latin dance with South Africa and beyond, transcending language and cultural barriers through the universal language of movement.

While VIP Afro-Latin Dancers have primarily focused on their dance performances, they haven't ventured into composing their own music yet. Their primary goal is to promote and diversify Afro-Latin dance in South Africa, offering a fresh and exciting alternative to traditional dance forms. By infusing Afro Beats into their choreography, VIP Afro-Latin Dancers create performances that captivate audiences with their infectious rhythm and cultural fusion.
