Meet Donlynn Fischer, An 11-time South African Latin and Ballroom Dance Champion Who is Partnering with Valentino R. Kabenge to Breathe Fire into Uganda’s Dance Scene
South Africa’s Got Talent finalist, Donlynn Fischer is in Uganda to partner with Valentino R. Kabenge as they Breathe Fire into Uganda’s Dance Scene
Have you seen? Have you heard? There’s a new star in town – and wow! Can she dance?! She is so fast on the dance floor – bringing Latin right to the center of Kampala and she has got everyone’s attention! If you’ve not seen yet …take a look here!
Look at those moves! Ladies – see those costumes! The young professional in question is Donlynn Fischer, an 11-time South African Latin and Ballroom Dance Champion, choreographer and dance teacher. She started dancing whe she was 8 years old and at the age of 12, with her then dance partner, former Strictly Come Dancing pro, Cameron Lombard, she was a finalist on South Africa’s Got Talent. Now, Donlynn has teamed up with ‘Dance with Valentino’ to breathe fire into the dance scene here in Uganda. “When I received the invitation to partner with Valentino I was intrigued by Valentino’s aim and mission to broaden Latin dance styles in Uganda which is my first love and passion out of all the dances I do” says Donlynn. She’s in Uganda to support ValRich Arts, Valentino’s
Arts Production company as they do their part in raising the standards and profile of dance in Uganda. Valentino himself is so over the moon about working with Donlynn. “This is another big step for our future plans of raising professional dance to another level in Uganda – collaborating with skilled choreographers and dance coaches from abroad to support the training and development of professional dancers in Uganda – we are working on a brand-new dance TV series, and other exciting dance projects and live shows” says Valentino.
This comes a few weeks after the visit of internationally renowned Artistic Director and award-winning Choreographer Richard Marcel, who is also working with Valentino on a project. Donlynn’s visit is clearly laying the foundation for something even bigger. So, watch this space – and let’s see what is going to unfold!
