Feel the

According

Over 60
dance troupes will perform the Indlamu - the traditional dance most often
associated with Zulu culture and based on warrior war dances. First prize is R5,000
in cash, a floating trophy and a R350,000 guaranteed working contract from
December 2012 to December 2013. The second and third placed troupes will
receive cash prizes of R3,000 and R2,000 respectively. Judges include Scott, a
representative from KZN’s Department of Arts & Culture, Vodacom and two
celebrity judges who will be announced shortly.
“This
unique event only happens at uShaka Marine World. It started eight years ago
and has given performers a unique opportunity to provide the very best cultural
entertainment for both local and international visitors. We’re expecting
thousands of dancers to enter and as many members of the public to enjoy this
dance spectacle,” said Scott.
