Anae Romyns is a 9 year old girl from Belgium. She has a passion for dance and particularly Afro-House dance. Afro House originated in South Africa and then became very popular in Angola.

This video shows Anae and her teacher Jenny Bonsenge; they have become famous for their dancing and their videos have gone viral all over the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db3Zp_8Xfro

Anae and Jenny are being praised for showing that dance is a universal language that everyone can enjoy. Jenny says, “People think our videos are nice because of the diversity.”

“Afro dance is a very cultural thing, but I open it to everyone. People with African roots, but also Moroccan people, Belgians, Italians and Asians follow my class. I love the mix.”

Jenny and Anae appeared on the Ellen Show in the US and with the money she received she donated to Dance4kids which helps children in Kinshasa and Portugal.
