Chaeli Foundation dancers emerge as double World Champions at the Wheelchair Dancing World Cup

This year, 20 countries competed with over 200 wheelchair couples competing in the Duo and Combi categories.

The Chaeli Foundation sent two dance couples to compete in the amateur division.

Mukhtar and Chantelle competed in the Combi Class 2 section and Damian and Chaeli competed in the Combi Class 1 Section; the categories are determined by the wheelchair dancer’s physical ability.

Each couple won both the Ballroom and Latin American sections and emerged as double World Champions.  They have been invited to compete in the World Class section against elite athletes from across the world.

Murray & Roberts, through the Letsema Awards and its partnership with the Chaeli Foundation are excited to be part of this journey in showcasing dancing excellence from Africa to the rest of the world.
