M-Net has confirmed that popular South African actress and performer, Juanita De Villiers, will be joining starlet Thembisa Mdoda and veteran thespian Frank Opperman as the next celebrity to get down on the dancefloor in M-Net’s all-star, glitzy new local series Dancing with the Stars SA!
Juanita is well known for her theatre work and acting roles in movies such as Knysna, Somer Son, Die Pro, Willie Esterhuizen’s Droomdag and Gys De Villers’, Die Ontwaking. Most recently, she played a nurse in kykNET’s new movie, Hartsorg.
“I’ve never done ballroom and Latin dancing before,” a nervous Juanita admitted. “But I’m so incredibly excited for the experience ahead!”
Does Juanita have what it takes to conquer the gleaming new dance floor, and who will be next to join the all-star cast? The show, in which 12 untrained local celebrities will put their best foot forward with the help of highly skilled professional Latin and ballroom dancers, will start on M-Net channel 101 on Sunday 4 February 2018.
