Divan Hattingh works as a tour guide in Rome, Italy and is a professional Latin-American dancer, 11-time national champion and currently ranked in the top 13 in the world for his class of dancing.

Before 2020, Divan Hattingh says his life felt empty. 2020 held a quiet season for him, and in this post-2020 chapter, he's feeling free.

His journey through the 2020s includes life as a tour guide in Italy during the pandemic, quarantine at home in South Africa, investing in his dancing career, and meeting the love of his life and now fiancé. He also shares how he spent several days in an abandoned steel factory converted into a COVID-19 shelter in South Africa.
