WATCH: Professional dancer Wiaan Laing shows off with Stormers cheerleaders

Rugby player or dancer? If the crown fits, rock it!
Yes, we are a nation that prides itself on diversity and yet on most occasions, we feed into the stereotypes of a limiting mindset.
A video with Wiaan Laing, a professional dancer, teacher, choreographer, and actor, dancing at the rugby has gone viral.
But the thing is that everyone assumed him to be a rugby player who can dance and not the other way around...
The video itself was pinned on his Twitter account and was shared in 2020, so we are more than a wee bit late on this one.
Nevertheless, in the video, Wiaan is seen joining the Stormers cheerleaders in a well choreographed routine of Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies'.
Now let's just say that we know, usually, everyone's eyes are on the cheerleaders, but in this instance, he certainly stole the show.
The video garnered over 8.3-million views after it was shared on Jefferson Sacramento's TikTok page.
At first, people were confused as the video was posted as if it was of a New Zealand team. But South Africans will never fail when it comes to spotting a fellow South African...
And Jefferson did admit that this was in fact from a Stormers game.
