In an exciting milestone, Bontle Modiselle has hit a remarkable four million followers on Instagram.
On Tuesday, September 10, the talented choreographer took to her social media to celebrate this achievement and reflect on her journey.
A Heartfelt Throwback
Bontle shared a nostalgic throwback post to mark the occasion.
With genuine gratitude, she acknowledged her loyal followers, many of whom have been with her since her early days on the platform.
“Over 4 million of you have joined me here. Since March 2014, you’ve been along for the ride, and I can’t thank you enough. I see you and appreciate you all,” she wrote.
Feeling on top of the world, Bontle also posted her very first Instagram photos from March 2014.
Her caption invited fans to take a trip down memory lane: “F2 & 3 are my very first posts. Scroll through to see the journey. Stick around for the ride…the journey is long.”
Big Moves Ahead
According to YouthVillage, Bontle is aware that this surge in followers opens up new opportunities in the competitive entertainment industry.
She’s been making waves and moving up in her career.
New Role in ‘Piano Love’
Bontle recently landed a lead role in the film Piano Love, which shines a spotlight on Amapiano, South Africa’s current musical sensation.
With Amapiano tracks dominating TV and radio, this film is generating buzz.
IOL reports that the film was shot in just eight days, and rapper Kwesta also stars in a leading role.
Although some viewers were less impressed with the film’s premiere on Netflix, Bontle’s performance is a notable highlight.
International Recognition
Bontle’s dancing prowess earned her international recognition in 2022 when Kelly Rowland praised her for teaching Amapiano dance moves during the singer’s visit to South Africa.
Briefly News reported that Rowland even shared a video of their dance session on Instagram.
Since then, Bontle has continued to captivate her audience with dance videos, often collaborating with fellow dancer Robot Boii to create popular “Yanos” dance moves.
