This is a monumental moment for Tebza and the pantsula scene in South Africa showcasing the impact the dance style has on the local dance scene and the world.

“This was the best moment of my life! Being exposed to the Red Bull Dance your Style global scene has ignited my purpose and highlighted the spirit I have of promoting Spantsula and opening more doors for my fellow brothers and sisters.” says Tebza on seeing the can for the first time.
