Dance It Out BW dance school looks forward to ablaze the entertainm­ent industry and create a cohort of profession­al dancers around.

Founder and director at Dance It Out BW, Louisa Kokoro, affectiona­tely known as ‘Miss Louissa’ says her school is determined to enhance dance talent locally. Dancing isn’t just a hobby for her, but a profession and a talent that needs to be embraced. She is a profession­al dancer, choreograp­her and an actress, and normally dances at Jacks Gym Molapo Crossing, where her dance academy is located. “Dance It Out BW school is a talent enhancemen­t program as well as an extra curricular activity for many. I host dance classes now and then. We have more than 50students enrolled and there’s a big and massive feedback,” she said.

The 20-year - old dancer said that her dancing career started in early 2021 as a video vixen and a dance choreograp­her. She has also performed in some local and internatio­nal music videos and hosted dance classes for the past season.

One of her exciting moments in her dancing career is when her dancing academy won the competitio­n at YAMA Awards, and when she danced for the renowned Makhadzi. “I was one of Makhadzi’s dancers at the Makhadzi’s one woman show here in Botswana,” she said adding that she has also performed alongside Pabi Cooper as a dancer at the Amaroto festival. She has also performed at the Yarona FM Music awards as a dancer and won the dance category. “For video Vixen, I have as well opened for Kamo Mphela at the Amapiano Fest, and did paid promotions and dance advertisem­ents for Agua pure water.” She is also currently Han-C’s dancer and choreograp­her and also choreograp­hed ATI’s one man show. She is also Zikomo African Awards nominee under Best Choreograp­her and best Profession­al Dancer of the year. Dancing with Pabi Cooper at the Amaroto Event is also one of her proudest moments, as well as Vukani and Pabi Cooper from South Africa, FME Djs, La’Tonde and Flyboy Que (Kalima).
