attracting dancers from South Africa and around the world to compete for gold,
silver and bronze medals, as well as substantial monetary prizes. The categories
in which dancers compete, in both ballet and contemporary dance, are Scholars,
(12 to 15 years), Junior (16 to 20 years) and Seniors (21 to 28 years). The
total prize money amounts to R400,000.
In line with earlier SAIBCs, a distinguished panel of judges
from around the world and South Africa has been assembled for SAIBC 2016.
