MBABANE – Dance is the timeless interpretation of life. Come next month, a lot
of interpretation will be happening on the dance floor at House on Fire during
the Let’s Dance Eswatini event. The first-of-it’s-kind occasion is being
hosted by Bailamos Dance Studio and Wanner Dance Studio.
While launching the event, the organisers confirmed the much anticipated show
would be held on March 2. Tickets to the show were released yesterday.
According to Suzan Esteves, the show can be enjoyed with dinner and priority
seating for E400 or for E150. She said tickets can be purchased at House on Fire
Gallery, Computronics at Riverstone Mall in Manzini, Luxy Garden Restaurant at
Corner Plaza in Ezulwini, or eDish Café at Computronics in Mbabane

Local celebrities have been paired with top Ballroom and Latin dancers. Dancing
together in the competition are Gciniwe Fakudze and Wakhile Mkhonta, Mdura and
Celiwe Kunene, Penny Bouwer and Basil Magongo, John Piers and Neliswa Bhembe,
Jordy Shiba and Phumelele Thwala and Siphesihle Nkwanyana and Sthembiso Mthembu.
“Couples will present two choreographed dance performances at the event, the
first of which will be a Ballroom and Latin dance, and the second will be a
genre of the celebrities’ choice. Catch couples dancing cha cha and tango, as
well as kwaito and kizomba.

activities by watching the videos of interviews and practice on the Let’s
