A young dance crew from Thembisa is rapidly rising on the entertainment scene, fuelled by the vibrant sound of local musician Vusi Reshumela Qwabe, widely known as ‘Yooh Kwenzakalani’.

The Endulwini Crew Dancers began their journey modestly last November, when three young performers started dancing to Qwabe’s hit track Yooh Kwenzakalani at local events.

Their energetic style and creative routines quickly gained them attention, including from the artist himself.

What followed was a collaboration that propelled the group from a small community act to a nationally recognised dance outfit.

Since formalising as the Endulwini Crew Dancers, the group has featured prominently in Qwabe’s music videos, including Yooh Kwenzakalani and Tembisawapopayi.

Their biggest breakthrough came when they secured a role in a national commercial for the popular energy drink Mofaya, giving them exposure to audiences across SA.

For Yooh Kwenzakalani, watching the crew’s rise has been inspiring and affirming.

“I have seen first-hand how music can unite and inspire people. The Endulwini Crew Dancers are a testament to passion and dedication,” he said.

As their popularity grows, the crew continues to perform at events, collaborate on new musical projects and appear in adverts.

Their calendar includes several upcoming opportunities, including a planned music video shoot featuring Mofaya energy drinks.

The dancers thanked those who had assisted them along the way, including Outdirect Chillcast, Ekurhuleni newspapers, Olifants News, DJ Sbu, who offered them tracksuits and school uniforms, and MK2One Studios for recent invitations.

They also thanked their parents for their ongoing support and encouragement.

The crew will perform at Emperors Palace on December 19, sharing a stage with well-known musician Aymos Shili Maspala Womdanso.

With bold ambitions, the Endulwini Crew Dancers aim to continue uplifting their community and see themselves featured on national TV.

“We are grateful for the support we’ve received so far, and we’re excited about what’s still to come,” a representative said.
