Johannes Radebe (born 27 April 1987)[1] is a South African dancer and choreographer.[2]

Early life

Radebe was born in Zamdela, Orange Free State, South Africa.[3] His father, who worked for Coca-Cola, separated from Radebe's mother while he was still at school.[4]

Radebe is gay and has spoken out about the homophobic bullying he received as a child.[5] He has also spoken of how his race and class would count against him when competing at ballroom dancing competitions as a youngster.[4]

He and his sister attended a dance school in their local area.[6] At the age of 13, he left home to live with a dance coaching couple in Gauteng province, and he attended secondary school in the Johannesburg suburb of Ennerdale.[3][4]

While living in Johannesburg, Radebe spent some time homeless, sleeping in the dance studio where he worked or in the back of taxis.[4]

Career

Radebe began his career as a dance teacher in Johannesburg, before spending seven years dancing on cruise ships.[4]

He has won the Professional South African Latin championships twice and has been the Amateur Latin South African champion three times.[7]

Radebe was a professional dancer on South Africa's version of Strictly Come Dancing[8] in 2014 on SABC 3 and Dancing with the Stars in 2018 on M-Net. Subsequently, he joined the touring cast of dance show Burn the Floor.[4] In 2018, the BBC announced that Radebe would join the cast of professional dancers on the British Strictly Come Dancing, although he was not allocated a partner in his first series. In 2021, Radebe was announced as a contestant on Celebrity MasterChef.

In 2022, he choreographed the West End-themed Rusical on the first series of RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World.[9] In December 2022, he was contestant on the Celebrity Christmas Special of BBC's The Great British Sewing Bee, which he won.[10]

In 2024, he appeared in the Doctor Who episode "The Devil's Chord", alongside Shirley Ballas in a song-and-dance number with Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor.
