#instaballet is an interactive dance company with the goal of introducing an updated approach to ballet.

No dance experience is required, and the result is pure community-driven art, focusing on process over product. Follow #instaballet on Instagram @instaballetgram.

My name is Tumelo Michael Moloi. I was born in South Africa, performing gumboots, pantsula and Zulu dance. I performed locally and internationally around Africa as well as across Europe and the USA. My performances spread the stories of South African cultures, music, dance, and life during apartheid. In 2005, I joined and performed in the Beatles “LOVE” show of Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, Nevada for 11years. Instagram @swazytheking
