Artist Spotlight - Lesole Maine |
|
Our next featured artist is a dynamic dancer from South Africa! He is also the first guest artist to appear on the Rhythm N' Dance Podcast !
Lesole Maine was born in Sebokeng, South Africa. This
small township, just outside of Johannesburg, a place rich in
diversity, culture and tradition, inspired Lesole's love of dance and
his appreciation for the many ethic customs surrounding him. Fluent in
more than three languages, Lesole's heritage enhances his performances.
While a high-school student, Lesole won several community awards in
Ballroom and Latin American dancing. In 1995, Lesole was awarded a
scholarship to study with the Johannesburg-based Moving Into Dance
Mophatong. Here, he studied Contemporary, Jazz, Afrofusion, Modern,
Ballet, Jive, Hip-Hop, and Traditional African dance. After graduating
from the Community Dance Teacher Training Course, Lesole was offered a
position as a dancer and teacher with the Moving Into Dance Company in
1997.
