The official countdown to Scorpion Kings Live with Friends continues with an electric energy. As anticipation builds for the biggest Amapiano festival of the year, the Scorpion Kings – DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small – are turning up the volume on culture, community, and creativity with an official Dance Challenge, inviting dancers across to be part of a moment that could change their lives.
Spearheaded by dance powerhouse Soweto’s Finest, the challenge calls on aspiring dancers to showcase their skills, celebrate Amapiano’s rhythm, and stand a chance to #BeAPartofHistory on 29 August 2025 at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
Amapiano has never been just about sound – it’s a movement powered by dance, fashion, and the social media moments that have taken the genre global. The #ScorpionKingsDanceChallenge celebrates this synergy, placing the spotlight on the dancers who’ve helped make the genre go viral.
“This culture moves when we move. Dancers have been at the frontlines of the Amapiano wave, and we’re excited to put that energy front and centre,” says DJ Maphorisa.
