Students from Mario Gomes Dance Academy are getting ready to put their best foot forward with their upcoming Dance Showcase for three nights in September at the Roodepoort Theatre.
The annual showcase on 18, 19 and 20 September will include a wide range of styles from hip hop, contemporary, break dance and urban street dances.
With their youngest dancer just four years old, the show will most certainly not disappoint on entertainment, mixing genders and all age groups with a passion for music and dance.
The academy’s owner Mario Gomes says audience members are in for a treat with the high standard of dancing from their dances.“Our hip hop dancers are currently ranked first in South Africa and we are excited to show what we are made of.
We appreciate all the support that we get from the communities because dancing for these kids is really a special talent and we want to share it with the world.”
The show will feature local dancers from Muldersdrift and Roodepoort, including Sharnae Botha, who is currently ranked first in the country in the junior solo category.
“I am looking forward to the show, its going to be a lot of fun, not just for us dancers and performers but for the audience too. Dancing is a passion for me and I look forward to improving my skill,”said Gomes.
Mario Gomes Dance academy has been operating for just a year and a half but already boasts more than 300 talented youngsters that are reaching great heights with their gift.
