Die Antwoord Tour 2014 Europe

As I sit down with Tarryn Alberts, it's clear that her passion for dance is infectious. Her optimism is palpable, radiating a sense of possibility and creativity that's hard to ignore. At just 23 years old, she's already achieved an impressive amount of success, having been named Krump Queen in 2010 and touring Europe as a backup dancer.

This coming weekend, Alberts will be opening for Kendrick Lamar at Miller Boomtown, the rapper's three-day mini-tour of South Africa. It's just one more milestone in her remarkable career, which has seen her spend long days rehearsing for performances, shooting music videos, and cultivating a style that's uniquely hers.

'I think people often assume that if you don't work a traditional 9-to-5 job, then you can't take care of yourself,' Alberts says, speaking from the streets of Johannesburg as she commutes to her dance studio. 'But for me, dancing is my full-time job. It's what I love, and it's what I'm good at.'

Alberts' dedication to her craft is impressive, to say the least. She spends ten-hour days rehearsing and perfecting her performances, all while maintaining a sense of style that's unmistakably her own.

The Obey You Collective: South Africa is a series presented by Sprite and FADER, showcasing artists, trailblazers, and bright young talents from across the country. And with Tarryn Alberts leading the way, it's clear that this year's Die Antwoord tour in Europe will be one to remember.
