Lee-ché Janecke, known professionally as Litchi HOV, is a Cape Town-born choreographer, creative director and cultural innovator shaping the future of global dance. A recipient of the 2026 Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Dance, he has spent over thirteen years developing a movement language that is both ancestral and futuristic – rooted in South African rhythm while resonating on international stages.

Globally recognised for his distinctive choreographic voice, Litchi reimagines pop culture through an African lens, transforming trends into a refined and unmistakable signature style. As the creative force behind Grammy Award-winning artist Tyla, he helped propel Water into a worldwide dance phenomenon and earned a 2025 MTV VMA nomination for Best Choreography for Push 2 Start.

From early beginnings on So You Think You Can Dance South Africa and Step Up or Step Out to choreographing for Idols SA, he has continuously shaped a bold creative philosophy that merges indigenous rhythms with contemporary form. Now expanding his impact globally, Litchi HOV leads a dynamic choreography and creative tour, delivering masterclasses, workshops and large-scale productions that turn every space into a site of cultural exchange – recalibrating the pulse of pop culture.
