He really did that. 3
Even after earning a feature in Ariana Grande's"Monopoly" music video and gaining more than 800 thousand followers on Instagram, 22-year-old Donté Colley is extremely down-to-earth. In between his assembly of empowering PSA's and energetic dance videos on Instagram, the Toronto native constantly reminds his nearing 1 million followers that the best thing to be on social media — and IRL — is 100 percent themselves.
“I literally used the internet as it was developing to teach myself,” Donté says. “I would search videos on how to do a pirouette, or like, how to do a jete and I would practice that in my bedroom or in my living room. Obviously nothing’s going to be perfect, but it's also like, I'm not searching for perfection either. This is who I am and this is what you’re gonna get. Dance for me has always been that thing that’s made me feel good. So I just continued to do it.
There’s something so special and rare that’s unburied while watching Donté. He tells me that these videos were never a way for him to try and “be found,” but rather just to make himself — and everyone else — feel good in the process, too.
