Who We Are
AboutYano Stars
South Africa's home of dance stars. A platform built to discover, celebrate, and develop the next generation of Amapiano dancers.
Our Story
Talent Should Never Go Unnoticed
Yano Stars is South Africa's premier online Amapiano dance competition. Created by Future Media Digital Events, Yano Stars exists to give talented dancers the stage they deserve.
Every day, incredible dancers create unforgettable moments across South Africa, in streets, schools, taxi ranks, studios, and on social media. Yet many of them never receive the recognition they deserve.
We believe talent should never go unnoticed. Yano Stars was created to change that.
Through exciting competitions, professional judging, public voting, and national exposure, we give dancers an opportunity to become recognised, celebrated, and remembered.
Our Mission
To discover, celebrate, and develop South Africa's next generation of dance stars while preserving and growing Amapiano dance culture.
Our Vision
To become the world's leading platform for Amapiano dance and the number one destination for discovering dance talent.
