Jikeleza Dance Project, Hout Bay (Cape Town)

"A chance to dance..."

The Jikeleza Project, established in 2002, currently teaches dance (African, contemporary, Spanish and classical ballet) to children and young people from the informal settlement of Imizamo Yethu and the Hangberg Harbour community in Hout Bay, in Nyanga Township and the Learn-To-Live Programme for street children in Greenpoint.

The energy, passion and commitment bowled me over... there's so much happening out there beyond our high walls, razor wire and, essentially, our comfort zones.

The group is directed by Edmund Thwaites and Atholl Hay.
