Mahikeng-About 300 dancers from across the country and the neighbouring Botswana converged at Mmabana Mahikeng over the past weekend during the Superstars Dance Festival, that was hosted jointly by the South African Dance Foundation North West (SADF – NW) and Mmabana Arts, Culture and Sports Foundation. 

Superstars Dance Festival is a prestigious event where dancers are awarded points that qualify them for national colours and thereby stand a chance to be selected to represent the country at international competitions sanctioned by World Dance Council (WDC), of which SADF is a member.

“Dancers from the age of six up to the professional level illuminate the dance floor with Cha Cha, Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep, Rumba and Jive moves that kept audience asking for more. To ensure an inclusive participation and excitement for dance sport fanatics, the Superstars Dance Festival incorporated traditional, Hip Hop and street dance styles” Mmabana spokesperson Trinity Bogosi said.

Amongst the judges was Salome Sechele, a Latin American champion, adjudicator, choreographer and a reality TV judge who has represented South Africa at an international level.

“The next edition of the competition, which is envisaged to be even bigger, will be hosted in 2014 in Mahikeng” concludes Bogosi.-TDN
