“Ultimately, towards the year end I will be releasing a well curated and thoughtful mixtape. So during the year I'll be dropping EPs and singles as build ups
“All that while hunting shows to perform at and also featuring with great artists who I personally enjoy and yea man just a lot of work ahead I can't let 2025 end the same way as 2024.”
NoNameDance member Methembe Blinko Ndlovu said they would take the country by storm.
“This year’s priority was to introduce ourselves to the market and give people a sense of who we are and what we are capable of,” he said.
“The time spent also allowed us to understand each other more and build great synergy and camaraderie which will carry us through the coming years.
“Considering that the dance market, specifically dance crew industry, was pretty much dead in the city, we had our work cut out for ourselves, but we’re happy to see more dance crews forming, which will increase the market size.
“Moving into 2025, we aim to export our craft outside the city and country as well as open up a space where young and aspiring dancers can be groomed and taught how to navigate in the industry.”
