Ugandan dance maestro Valentino Richard Kabenge and his South African partner Donlynn Fischer took a giant leap from the dance floor to the aisle as they announced their engagement on the night of Friday, February 15, 2024, at the prestigious Kampala Serena Hotel.
The mesmerizing proposal, captured in a video that has since gone viral, showcased Kabenge, a luminary in Uganda's Latin and ballroom dance community, as he gracefully knelt before Fischer, asking for her hand in marriage. The tender moment was a culmination of their journey as dance partners and lovers, symbolizing a union that goes beyond the intricacies of dance choreography.
Kabenge, the esteemed CEO of 'Dance With Valentino' and 'Val Rich Arts Limited,' has been a prominent figure in Uganda's dance scene. The couple's love story began when Fischer, an 11-time South African Latin and Ballroom Dance Champion, joined forces with Kabenge in mid-2023. Her arrival in Uganda marked the initiation of a partnership program aimed at elevating the country's dance standards.
Since then, the dynamic duo has been tirelessly working to spread the joy of dance and enhance the profile of the art form in Uganda. Fischer, in particular, has been an integral part of ValRich Arts, Kabenge's Arts Production company, contributing significantly to the elevation of dance standards in the region.
The announcement of their engagement has been met with an outpouring of love and congratulations from netizens on various social media platforms.
