DanceworxKZN will present The Dancing Princesses this weekend
(July 13 and 14, 2019) at the Playhouse.
DanceworxKZN is a KwaZulu-Natal based
Junior Theatre Dance Company that was founded in 2016 by a small group of
teachers who are dedicated to the advancement of dance, and in particular, Junior
Theatre in KwaZulu-Natal.
The main aim of the organisation is to
offer young performers opportunities on the professional stage with all that
goes with this: professional sound, lighting, full time technicians, fly-bars,
props, scenery and change-rooms with mirrors and lights; thereby instilling a
love of and for the theatre.
In The
Dancing Princesses, Princess Genevieve and her sisters discover a magical
realm, where they learn that they can thwart Duchess Rowena’s evil plan.
The
Dancing Princesses is DanceworxKZN’s fourth
production at the Drama Theatre, and their second musical dance drama. The cast
of 93 have been hard at work rehearsing since April, and will be performing in
the dance genres of Ballet, Modern Jazz, Contemporary, Spanish, Hip Hop and Tap.
This season, the DanceworxKZN faculty
includes the choreographic talents of Jean Wiggill, Minette de Klerk, Riley
Wiggill, Angela Gutlar-Balkovic, Bridget Crisp, Kaylee Prosser, Penny Lundall and
Lynn Totham. The company’s acting and singing coach is Babette van
Loggerenberg.
DanceworxKZN’s past performances include Mirror Mystery (2016); The Frog Prince (2017) and Doorway to Zinnia (2018)
