The annual feel-good dance extravaganza, Shall We Dance returns to razzle and dazzle fans at The Playhouse Opera for five shows only from September 11 to 13.
The colourful celebration of dance combines over ten styles with vibrant choreography, vivacious costumes, pulsating music and energetic lighting.
Shall We Dance is one of the longest running dance shows in the world and features over 100 amateur dancers from around town. Shall We Dance has been running for more than three decades and is by far the city’s most endearing regular dance showcase. It reminds us of the huge fun, talent, fellowship and confidence-boost that joining a dance group can offer. Professional dancers share the stage with Durban dance studios, and the students from the International School of Performing Arts; in an array of ballroom, ballet, Bollywood, Irish, hip-hop and Latin at its finest.
Returning for their
second appearance, international dance stars Egor Kondratenko & Mie Lincke
Funch are coming to us hot off the European and Asian competition floor, bring
their luscious Latin American steps back to the Playhouse stage. Representing
Denmark, the duo has a busy calendar having just finished fifth in Denmark,
third in Vietnam and will be taking to the floor for the Grand Slam and German
Opens.
Lisa Bobbert returns as the fabulous and charming eMCee. Professional ballroom dancers, Mark and Edlena Leslie-Smith will be making their debut as a featured couple in this year’s extravaganza. The husband-and-wife team have been dancing for a quarter of a century, but only a couple of years in the professional realm, having danced in Belgium, Canada and Spain, and most recently in Japan at the World Professional Ballroom Dance Championships.
This spectacular showcase is the creation of dancers Caryl Cusens and Neville Letard and is presented by the South African Dance Teachers Association in association with The Playhouse Company.
