DO good dancers need words? At least not for the Kombat Dancers. At the City Beat-Club Beer party with the stars at Club Cascades last Friday, it was more of a dance gala than just talk.

DO good dancers need words? At least not for the Kombat Dancers. At the City Beat-Club Beer party with the stars at Club Cascades last Friday, it was more of a dance gala than just talk.
The entrance and exit were all about dance, with a few minutes of interaction. It was a revelation to learn that Michael Kasaija, the troupe boss, is a Bachelor of Business Administration graduate, who chose to dance his way to success.
The disappointment is that Kombat does not perform regularly since it is a corporate outfit. “But we shall soon start performing for the general public. We are still identifying a place,†Kasaija said.
Natasha did not hide her passion for dancing. “Every woman needs to dance. When you dance, it is the last day you will have a problem,†she revealed.
But Sharon Kemigisha was the happiest winner. Kombat offered her free dance classes for a month. Martin Okello, a teacher at Busoga College Mwiri, had the widest smile when Natasha Sinayobye hugged him. Among the fans was a Pan-Africanist Nigerian, who thought that Kombat was not African enough.
Kasaija’s tale revealed how the group is a fusion of the African and the Western style.
For proving themselves worthwhile dancers, Vision Voice’s Isaac Kudzu and Sharon Kemigisha won crates of Club beer.
