On a weekday, MufukaWorks received a call from LA to come be a part of their reality filming for the show, America's Got Talent. We accepted and got to spend the whole day filming and got a VIP status to audition. Since 2010, I have to say it was one of the most exciting filming time ever. Here are some pictures and highlights:

Hello MufukaWorks Supporters,

It has been six years since I opened my company, MufukaWorks Dance Company. I started blogging way before then and it started in South Africa. I didn't realize that South Africa was going to open my mind up to make a thought into reality.  This weekend, we had a awesome time.
