South African dance has influenced the world since international artists like Rihanna performed the Gwara Gwara, and Beyonce performed the Pantsula dance in her music video for Run the World (Girls). Recently Ciara and Uncle Waffles trended globally when they did the Yahyuppiyah challenge after Uncle Waffles performed at Coachella recently.

Dancer tells Briefly News why he loves dancing

Tyrique Tyers, from Upington in the Northern Cape, told Briefly News that he started dancing at a young age.

"As a kid, my role models were Michael Jackson and Chris Brown, so I practised daily and watched their videos. Growing up, I had a lot of black and coloured friends, and every time they danced, I would copy them. I love dancing because I have complete control over my body when I dance. I exit m mind, and the music enters my body. For me, dancing is art. My favourite dance move in the amapiano industry is the Betha kick. If God has that planned for me in the future, I would love to dance professionally," he said.
