Downs dancers parter with Flatfoot dancers in show fundraiser
Aptly titled Stand By Me, this dance journey is about learning to stand next to our neighbours and acknowledging their humanity.
FLATFOOT Dance Company presents Stand By Me, with choreography by Lliane Loots in collaboration with eight dancers from the company and the Flatfoot Downie Dance Company, at Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre on Tuesday, 12 November at 6.30pm.
Fondly referred to as the Flatfoot Downie Dance Company, this landmark performance will feature the unique partnering of the professional Flatfoot dancers with their Downie Dance Company members. This unique dance programme is unprecedented in South Africa and is a celebration of the power of dance to shift lives and to negotiate difference and inclusivity.
