UCT School of Dance tours the Garden Route

The director, Gerard Samuel, said: "I am delighted that students will have an opportunity to showcase their diverse skills to a wider audience, one that is outside of Cape Town. Their hard work deserves to be seen in what can only be described as a win-win situation. Audiences can expect an evening of light-hearted and serious dance works. There is truly something for everyone in this year's progamme."

The tour marks a second round of partnership with Samuel and the Rotary Clubs of the Southern Cape, which have been generous in their outreach towards the local community. "The tour by UCT offers Rotary greater opportunity to continue its philanthropic work," said past district governor Rodney Mazinter. In partnership with the Rotary Clubs of the Southern Cape, this lively programme includes dynamic, thought-provoking work by members of the teaching staff and talented students.
