Mzee Kawato Says He Has No Shame Dancing for a Living

Mzee Kawato has turned his passion into a steady source of income, using his talent to support his family.

During a chat with Sanyuka Uncut, the viral dancing sensation shared how his journey into dance started at a young age and evolved over time.

I learned these dances step by step from my youth. I have been dancing for a long time. My son recorded a song, and I incorporated my dance moves into it. That is how I became who I am today.

I feel happy when I dance because people appreciate it and encourage me to perform.
