Carletonville’s Beat Box Dance Studio has achieved national acclaim, with dancers selected to represent South Africa at the international championships in Spain 2026.

After months of hard work, long rehearsals, and passion-fueled training, the talented dancers of Beat Box Dance Studio impressed judges at the Talent Africa Nationals 2025, held on October 6 in Vereeniging. Their high-energy performances, creative choreography, and team spirit secured them places on Team South Africa — a significant milestone for the studio and the Carletonville community.
