WATCH: Wu Tang Cru dance up a storm at Wilson’s Wharf
While the NPO currently has 14 dancing students, between ages six and 14, it can accommodate up to 25 students.
CHILDREN from the Wu Tang Cru will enjoy a morning of dance at their South Durban studio on Saturday, December 18.
Wu Tang Cru is an non-profit-organisation founded by accomplished dancers, Sanusha Govender and Jose Africa, who coach children every Saturday at the Bat Centre on Wilson’s Wharf.
“We will continue classes throughout the holidays, we are just going to take January 1 off,” said Govender.
With a passion for dance, Wu Tang Cru has continued classes despite Covid-19 challenges.

“We haven’t stopped teaching since Covid-19 broke out. It’s just the two of us teaching. We still hired a venue and did online classes through the lockdown. We are extremely passionate about dance,” said Govender.
The organisation currently teaches dance to 14 students between the ages of six and 14. They will open registration to new students on January 7.
“We can take on a maximum of 25 students,” said Govender.

She added that students pay a registration fee when they sign up and this covers the cost of studio rentals. The NPO was founded by Govender and Africa in 2018.
“Dance helps the child at a cognitive level and improves motor skills, spatial awareness and perception. It also helps children develop creativity. Our motto is fitness, discipline and skills. We have seen our children improve their fitness. After a few months of dancing they are super fit. We teach them how to dance and to choreograph their own dances,” said Govender.
