Lopang teased about the star-studded line-up of international experts, Happy Ramano and Adelaide Hlungwane, current top dogs in Dance Sport South Africa (DSSA). Local darlings, Shawn Mapogo and Motheo Ntshese from the University of Botswana (UB) dance studio are set to grace the championships. These hot-steppers previously made waves as finalists at the Youth Raising Star during the All South Africa Open Championships.
