Charmaine – South Africa

Dance Artist
Charmaine is a South African natural-born dancer whose journey into Afro-Latin dance began in 2019 with Kizomba—a dance she fell in love with at first step. Her passion soon expanded as she joined Dance Spirit SA, where she embraced Salsa and Bachata, evolving into a holistic dancer. Under the mentorship of Emmanuel Sowah, Charmaine honed her skills and deepened her connection to the art form, becoming a true embodiment of Dance Spirit SA’s values. In 2023, she officially joined the Dance Spirit SA team, and in 2024, she proudly stepped into the role of Salsa and Kizomba instructor, sharing her love of dance with others. Beyond dancing, Charmaine is a double-degree holder in Finance and Economics from the University of Cape Town, with professional experience in the financial services industry. This unique blend of analytical skill and artistic passion defines Charmaine, making her an inspiring and multifaceted individual in both her professional and creative pursuits.
