MEET OUR DANCERS

Closest to Lesego’s heart is training autistic children in dance. She was fortunate to participate in the Integrated Dance Colloquium in Durban in 2018, which enabled her to advance her skills in integrated dance teaching. Serving as a professional dancer for MID and as Wardrobe Co-ordinator, Lesego is driven to see her career excel in both performance and inclusive dance facilitation.

Lesego has recently had a taste of choreographing her own dance piece for the dance company, which was part of MID’s Ingress season, and earned a Naledi Award in 2023. As with all MID’s professional dancers, she has completed the three-year dance training programme and spent a year interning with the professional dance company. She recently returned from Hanover, where her joint choreography, Limitless, was named in the top works of the Hanover Choreography competition. She has toured with Dada Mashilo’s Hamlet to Germany and the United Kingdom and participated in a residency in Denmark with Marie Brolin-Tani, Melody Putu and the Holstebro Dance Company.
