Ukukhanya okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kumboza kumboza isiteji emsebeni. Amalungu omzimba asakaza iminyakazo, ifudukela kumculo othusayo. Iphansi lesiteji libonakala libamba lemizimba njengoba izama ukumelana nokudonsa kwayo. Okuthile okunamandla okudonsa lemizimba ndawonye kube yinto yemvelo ephilayo yokuphefumula; bayiqembu elibalulekile lemizimba eshukumayo futhi ngasikhathi sinye, abantu abahamba ngesigqi sabo. Ukusuka kulokhu kuhlanganiswa kobumbano, umdansi weFlatfoot uJabu Siphika uzidonsa ukuze ame amade nokho namanje aqhubeka nokuhlangana nokwakheka kwezinombolo ezingezansi. Kancane kancane, ngamunye ngamunye, umaka ngamunye wabadansi ku-Thobeka Quvane [Teekay] (waseFlatfoot), uSifiso Khumalo (waseFlatfoot), uMlondolozi Zondi (waseFlatfoot), uFrank Konwea (wase-Ijodee) noSifiso Ngcobo [Magesh] (waseFlatfoot), -futhi njengoba besukuma, bakhuluma nezibukeli, babelana ngesizukulwane samagama abo nomlando wohambo lwabo. Kukhona ubumnandi, kunosizi olunjulile, kunomlando walezi zidumbu zomdanso njengabantu futhi njengengxenye yomphakathi kulolucwaningo lokuthi ungumuntu nokuthi kanjani uhambo lwethu lwempilo nokuthi singobani — njengabantu bodwa njengomphakathi — zakhiwe ngokuqondile nangokungaqondile ngokucabanga kwethu nezinqumo zabanye; kokubili ngamathuba nangokuzikhethela.

I-“Aye Asan” ihlangana neminye imisebenzi ebalulekile kusiko lomdanso wanamuhla e-Afrika njengengxenye yeJOMBA! Lwedijithali kanye nezibukeli ziyakwazi ukubuka lomsebenzi wokudansa onenjongo.
