Globetrotting content creator Ed People got more than he bargained for on a recent visit to South Africa, where he met local dancers who were up for his dancing challenge.
Cape Town, South Africa (29 September 2025) – Belgium content creator, Ed People, recently paid a visit to South Africa and was in for some delightful dance lessons when he discovered local movers and shakers busting moves at some of the vibey spots.
In a video shared on his social media, Ed is seen asking one of the young girls of the Imzu Youth Development Dancers to teach him her favourite dance move. She wastes no time in showing him the step-by-step of a rather complex yet captivating dance routine, which Ed follows through to the best of his ability.
While Ed might’ve been sweating through the fast-paced moves, the performance was pure magic, proving what he quickly realised:
“There is so much talent in this country, South Africa”.
According to NPR, Ed, whose real name is Edouard Jacqmin, is a Belgian known for his videos in which he asks complete strangers from all over the world to show him their favourite dance moves. He films the encounters and posts the results on his social media accounts, which, combined, have millions of followers.
He’s been taught anything and everything from ballroom dance to vibey bhangra routines.
The globetrotter has had an amazing experience in Mzansi, with a separate video showing at Ngakane Street in Soweto, receiving a Zulu dance lesson from a talented group of cultural dancers. In the footage, Ed wears umqhele (a traditional Zulu headband) and tries to mimic the moves of an exceptionally skilled and fast dancer.
The video with the Cape Town youth, which currently has over 139K views on Facebook, easily became a fan favourite among netizens, with many flocking to praise the children’s talent and Ed for using his platform to showcase the rhythm and magic of our people.
