Afrofusion dance in South Africa
In one field especially, the new freedoms of post-apartheid South Africa
have brought new life - dance has became a prime means of artistic
expression, with dance companies expanding and exploring new territory.
Music and dance are pulling in new audiences and a number of home-grown
productions, particularly those aimed at the popular market, have taken
South Africa and, in some cases, the world, by storm.
Among these are entrepreneurial producer Richard Loring's African Footprint,
enjoying a long run at Gold Reef City's Globe Theatre. The show, which also
performed in London at the 2000 Royal Variety show and played to
enthusiastic audiences in Atlanta, features a cast of talented professional
dancers, many with a classical background, and explores 2,000 years of
African history through its evolving dance traditions.
South Africa has had a long tradition of fine classical ballet but, until
relatively recently, contemporary dance was not an important feature of the
local dance scene.
Since the late-1970s, though, that has changed, and contemporary dance
companies have burgeoned and spawned an "Afrofusion" (a concept conceived
and named by MID's Sylvia Glasser) that combines the techniques of formal
dance training with a spirit that is purely African. The result, a blend of
multiple cultures, including classical ballet, is controversial and hugely
exciting.
Companies like Cape Town's Jazzart Dance Theatre, Johannesburg's Free Flight
Company and Moving Into Dance (MID)- Mophatong, the Soweto Dance Company,
the Napac and Pact Dance Companies, led the way, creating the first
contemporary companies in South Africa and inspiring a new dance movement.
More recently, groups like the exotically named Fantastic Flying Fish
Company have leapt into the field. Artists like Sylvia Glasser, Tossie van
Tonder, Carly Dibokwane, Adele Blank, Robyn Orlin, created a new vocabulary
of dance, working with their own companies, directing at Fuba (Federated
Union of Black Artists), and inspiring and nurturing local talent.
Jazzart, the oldest modern dance company in the country, has long been
actively involved in performing and teaching workshops and classes in
disadvantaged communities. Moving Into Dance-Mophatong, whose Community
Dance Teachers Training Course has just celebrated its tenth anniversary,
has given space to the talents of dancer/choreographers like Vincent Mantsoe,
Moeketsi Koena, and Gregory Vuyani Maqoma.

South African Dance Company |
The Academy of Dance
opened its doors on the 19th January 1986 with 27 students.
Modern dance, classical ballet, Latin American and exercise
classes were all a part of the curriculum. Today the school has
a commendable eighteen year history of producing students for
the dance industry, with two satellite branches in Paarl and
Hout Bay.
The Academy of Dance is owned and directed by Debbie Turner who
teaches the modern and contemporary dance classes as well as
Tap, while the ballet classes are run by Jacqui Pells, owner of
the Jacqui Pells School of Ballet, an affiliate business of The
Academy of Dance.
The Academy acknowledges and promotes the world trend of young
dancers being trained in all forms of dance including
complimentary exercise techniques such as Pilates Body Control,
to give them the best opportunity of being employed as young
professionals.
The nurturing of the love of dance is the over-riding priority
of the training at the school. The teaching faculty are
committed to the education of young dancers, not only as
performers, but as potential audience members, teachers and
patrons of the arts. Many ex-students of the school are today
occupied in professions that are directly related to dance in
either the medical or creative fields.
Specializes in: Contemporary and Modern Dance, Funk, Tap,
Classical Ballet
