“We rehearsed for about two hours in the mornings, and about four hours in the afternoon, until we got the steps right and on point,” she added.
Both Thabo and Adelaide urged other upcoming dance couples to not give up on their passion, and that they should try by all means to dance and work hard so that they are able to qualify to compete in the championships.
The dancing duo will participate in the Arnold Classic Africa from 5-7 May 2017, at the Sandton Convention Centre.
