Stepping Out dancers excel at Eisteddfod
Stepping Out dancers danced to their own white canvas and painted their own pictures proving that all of their hard work, passion and love for dance paid off.
“DANCING is like starting with a white canvas – you get to draw your own picture”
This was a powerful message to the dancers at the Harrismith Eisteddfod 2017. The Eisteddfod offers dancers a great platform to grow.

“Thank you to each and every dancer who always dances with so much passion and love. I am proud to be your teacher! Thank you also to our dedicated parents for your love and support. It doesn’t go unnoticed.”
Dance greetings, Marina de Beer.
