Keamogetswe Ruiters

Director

I used to be part of 2 hip-hop dance crews in my teens (do not be fooled, I was not great at it πŸ˜…). My stage name was Chris Black (because of my complexion). One crew was from my "hood" and the other was from school. Once we completed primary school, we found a gap in the market and decided to perform for schools. That's when I decided to take a step back from the main performances. I was only then focused on being the MC; event coordinator and treasurer πŸ€‘. We brought in more people into the crew so that it could be a variety show including dancing; singing; rapping; comedy etc. We actually made a lot of money because came the December holidays we'd pay for our own outings and stuff without asking our families πŸ˜….
