Celebrating three decades of dazzling dance, Shall We Dance takes to the stage with a glitzy line-up at the Playhouse Opera for five shows only from September 13 to 15, 2024.

One of the longest-running dance shows in the world, Shall We Dance shares this momentous milestone with a bevy of local performers representing the region’s top dance studios as well as four international guest artists in honour of their 30th anniversary.

Appearing for the third time, seven times Professional Danish Champions, Nicolai Bouet (Denmark) and Anna Shagalina (Ukraine) return having previously starred in 2015 and 2016. The Danish ballroom champions will light up the stage with their version of sport dancing. They are joined by newcomers, Latin American specialists Egor Kondratenko (Russia) and Mie Funch (Denmark). The duo has represented Denmark in the European and World Championships and were semi-finalists in the 2023 Grand Slam.

The toe-tapping array of dance styles featured this year include Ballroom, Latin, Modern, Ballet, Irish, Tap and Indian with the music ranging from Tico Tico to Michel Bublé to Abba.

Durban’s own Marion Loudon returns for her third time hosting the show as compere and vocalist.
