Stepping out

DURBAN'S popular dance showcase celebrates its 21st season this year at The Playhouse Opera from 13 to 21 September.

Shall We Dance features about 100 of the region’s most exciting dancers as well as top award-winning industry professionals.

The featured couples this year are Ryan Hammond and Lindsey Muckle; the duo is currently performing on Strictly Come Dancing SA and are the undefeated British Latin American Show Dance Champions.

Adding to the Latin dancers, Hammond’s brother, Darren will pair with Milla Lykke Nielson from Denmark; ballroom is provided by Penwell Nhlapo from Gauteng and Yulia Kharlova from Russia, and Durban’s own STATIK returns to the stage.

Featured styles besides ballroom and Latin are ballet, belly dance, hip-hop, line dance, modern, Spanish and tap.

The MC is East Coast Radio’s Damon Beard.

The show is presented by the Playhouse Company in association with the South African Dance Teachers’ Association, with a supporting grant from Business and Arts South Africa. Direction is by Neville Letard and Caryl Cusens.
