Khanya Mandongana - Ballet dancer
Ballet dancer Khanya Manongana is talking about how his dream of being a ballet dancer came true and the faith and support he received from his ballet teachers during his training. Looking back now Khanya realises that he followed in the footsteps of his role model at the time, another boy who paved the way from a township of South Africa to becoming a ballet dancer in England. His wish is now to go as far as he can in his career as a ballet dancer in Europe and to make an impact in the industry and he would like to push the boundaries of what people think he can or cannot do as a black dancer. He would also like to be an example for other boys from the townships who have the dream of becoming a dancer.
