Returning to the Playhouse Opera from 6 – 15 September, the annual dance showcase, Shall We Dance, is back with more steps than the mythical stairway to heaven.
Celebrating its 27th year this year, the annual showcase extravaganza of Durban’s diverse dance scene will be on stage for 10 performances only.
Dance styles featured this year include the daring, jaw-dropping Adage; traditional and contemporary Ballet; breath-taking Ballroom; sensational Belly; beautiful Bollywood; toe-tapping
Irish; stylish Jazz and of course, sensational Latin American.
A number of dance studios from around Durban with a total of 100 dancers have been hard at work behind the scenes, not only choreographing their performance but also creating,
often from scratch, the phenomenal array of colourful costume.
Each year, the showcase introduces some fabulous tracks that accompany the action. Music is a big part of Shall We Dance, with carefully planned eclectic musical choices to support the dance programme-– gleaned from contemporary artists as well as ever-greens.
The annual extravaganza is presented by the South African Dance Teachers’ Association, the show is produced and directed by dance stalwarts Caryl Cusens and Neville Letard. Taking up his familiar role as eMcee, Damon Beard will be back on stage with the microphone.
Ticket prices range from R100 to R160, with concessions being offered on specific dates. Booking is through Webtickets or instore at Pick n Pay Supermarkets or Hypermarkets.
