Hey everyone!
My name's Noxolo Dlamini
and I play Ntombi in the
new Netflix series JIVA!
I'm going to win this competition.
Welcome to my humble abode.
Today, I'm going to be teaching you guys
a bit of Ntombi's one dance routine
that she does at El Royale in the cypher.
I think I chose this really, because it's the one time
we get to see Ntombi really letting loose,
and when we really get to see why she loves dancing so much
and that it just brightens up her entire being.
And I'm really excited to teach you guys this today.
It might be a bit challenging,
but I'm pretty sure you guys will love a challenge.
So the first move, this was going to be very Vosho heavy.
That's a Vosho, all right?
Now, there are many different types of Voshos,
and this routine is going to have quite a few of them.
So the first Vosho we're going to go into, is a jump.
Jump! Touch the ground, come back up.
All right, does that make sense?
That's a jump.
Jump! Down and one, two, three.
So, that's the first Vosho.
So, Vosho is very popular in South Africa.
It's very popular in Gqom,
which is probably where it started.
And is now part of Amapiano as well.
Absolutely popular.
Because everybody knows that it's not an easy move,
and once you're able to do variations of it,
you're a master.
Like, I'm sorry, who are you Ma'am?
Who are you, Sir?
So, get your knees nice and ready,
because that was only the first one.
So, I'm gonna teach you the second Vosho.
So, we did the first Vosho,
jump, touch down, come back up, all right?
Once you've come back up, you say one, two, three.
You're almost like dribbling a ball.
Dribble ball, but you're preparing to go down
on the leg that you're dribbling the ball with.
Dribble ball, go down and extend the other leg.
Extend other leg and come back.
One, two, three.
You can touch the ground.
One, two, three, one, two, three.
Or if you're cool like
me!
You're gonna dribble, dribble,
one, two, three, one, two, three.
So it is, five, six, seven, eight.
Ta! One, two, three,
one, two, three, one, two, three.
We got that, didn't we?
I'm pretty sure we did!
All right, let's do it with some music now.
Can we get some music!
So, this entire routine is high energy
because that is what Gqom is.
And I'm going to say it's definitely taken
from the stomping of the Zulu dancing, you know?
Just how everything is high energy, legs up in the air.
Look, if you can be up here then down there
in the next second, perfect.
Even better!
So, this next move, I'm gonna be nice.
I'm gonna be nice and I'm gonna let you rest
from all the Voshos that I've been making you do.
This one is a very simple one.
It's more about swag and looking cool.
And I guess you can play with it the way you want to.
It's got a bit of a grind to it,
and everything is on its toes.
So, you're going to go grind, grind, heel.
How I do it is, I go.
I hit my chest, then I hit my chest on this side,
then I hit my hip.
And as I hit my hip, I do like a, pha!
And I'm back, like a ricochet.
Ta! Pa pa pa!
A lot like when we went down,
coming up one, two, three.
Pass the ball down.
One, two, three, jump!
Toe, toe, heel.
One, two, three.
So you can do it whichever way.
You can, spin it around.
You can go back with it.
Totally up to you.
You're resting now.
You get to rest from all the Voshos,
but it won't end there my friend.
So now, we're going to put all three moves together.
So we went, jump!
Back vosho, up.
One, two, three, pass the ball.
Vosho down.
One, two, three.
Jump, toe, toe, heel,
back and there.
Let's try it with some music!
Yeboooo!
You're doing great.
To be quite honest, you're doing very great.
All right guys, now we've rested
and we have one more Vosho to learn, all right?
We did say it was gonna be a Vosho heavy routine.
But listen, we've come this far, we've come this far.
So this last Vosho, all right?
Is pretty simple, I think.
But could seem confusing?
But what we're gonna do is, we're gonna step back,
right, left and then break.
You're gonna lean back and make sure
you balance with the ground.
Then, you're going to extend.
Extend, bring it back in, and then one, two.
And then one, two, three.
So, we're gonna do it again.
We're gonna go, step back, step back, break.
One, out.
Two, bring it in.
Three-four.
Make sure you throw the fourth one away.
Four! One, two, three.
Let's try piece all four moves together.
Five, six, seven, eight, up!
Down, one, two, three.
Pass the ball, one, two, three.
One, two, three.
Jump, toe, toe, heel.
One, two, three.
Hey, we're moving back.
We go right, left, break.
One, two, three, four!
One, two, three.
Let's do that again!

Five, six, oh!
