Ugandan Valentino Richard Kabenge, trained as an actor, but when a friend pestered him to join a social dance club, the found that he was instantly drawn to the rhythms and moves of Latin dancing. It inspired him to take classes in Latin and Ballroom and he now trains other people himself, and works as a choreographer. He spoke to Veronique Edwards about his love of dance, and his involvement in a festival that brings together people with differing abilities - including physical - to showcase their talent as performers. He also considers the idea of Uganda being established as Africa's home of Latin and Ballroom. Photo: Ugandan Latin and Ballroom dancer, Valentino Kabenge. Credit: Giulio Molfese.
