Dance like everybody's watching

While speaking to Briefly News, the Elsies River dancer shared his thoughts about which dance moves needed to be incorporated into amapiano songs.

"Honestly, amapiano comes with its own movements, and a different and diverse African feel. From a dancer's point of view, I feel you can incorporate any type of movement as long as you have rhythm."

Wesley also shared with the publication that he made the viral TikTok video in his hometown and hopes to uplift the youth and help them showcase their talents.

"Sometimes, I make TikTok videos with the kids from my area because they love to dance. I think I'm more comfortable within my area and the people surrounding me.
