Malgré l’éventail <strong>de</strong> 98 danses traditionnelles pratiquées en Ouganda,<br />

Christopher Kato en pince pour <strong>la</strong> magie <strong>de</strong>s danses <strong>de</strong> salon.<br />

Kato est connu en Ouganda sous le nom <strong>de</strong> “Magicien <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> danse”. Il<br />

a eu 80 ans en mai 2004. C’est à l’âge <strong>de</strong> 15 ans qu’il voit pour <strong>la</strong> première<br />

fois “<strong>la</strong> danse <strong>du</strong> B<strong>la</strong>nc” dans un cinéma local. Depuis ce jour,<br />

<strong>la</strong> danse et le mouvement emplissent chaque moment <strong>de</strong> sa vie. Il imite<br />

tout d’abord les danses <strong>de</strong>s soldats revenant <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> secon<strong>de</strong> guerre<br />

mondiale. Cependant, en 1949, une femme “muzungu” (b<strong>la</strong>nche), employée<br />

<strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> Poste d’Ouganda, remarque son talent et Kato reçoit sa<br />

première véritable formation en danses <strong>de</strong> salon.<br />

Consacrant tout son temps à <strong>la</strong> danse, Kato ne se marie qu’à l’âge <strong>de</strong><br />

66 ans. Il est <strong>de</strong>puis six décennies le seul expert ougandais en danses<br />

<strong>de</strong> salon. Il s’est pro<strong>du</strong>it dans le mon<strong>de</strong> entier, osant se mesurer à <strong>de</strong>s<br />

professionnels en Norvège, aux USA et au Japon.<br />

Despite the array of 98 traditional dances practiced in Uganda, Christopher Kato<br />

falls for the magic of ballroom dancing.<br />

Kato is known in Uganda as the “Dancing Wizard”. He turned 80 in May 2004.<br />

At the age of 15 he saw “the white man’s dance” for the first time in a local cinema.<br />

Since then dance and movement has been filling his every waking moment.<br />

Initially, he imitated the dances of soldiers returning from the Second World War.<br />

In 1949, however, a “muzungu” (white) <strong>la</strong>dy, an employee of Uganda Post Office,<br />

noticed his talent and Kato received his first formal training in ballroom dancing.<br />

With no time for anything else Kato got married at the age of 66. For the <strong>la</strong>st<br />

six <strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong>s he has been the only Ugandan expert in ballroom dancing. He has<br />

performed all over the globe, and dared to challenge professionals in Norway,<br />

USA and Japan.<br />
