Save the last dance

For the second year running, 20-year-old Alex Mundell from Norscot has come out on top of the Freestyle Dance World Championships.

The competition was held in Blackpool, United Kingdom on 22 and 23 June. She won the adult ladies premier championship slow title, retaining her world title which she won last year. She also won the adult ladies premier champ fast section while at competition.

She is the only South African to ever have ever won a world fast premier championship and is the only South African double premier world champion.

Mundell trains at Dance Zone International at Bryanpark Shopping Centre and is trained by the legendary David Jones and Steve Noall. She also does intensive fitness and strength training with Peter Jordaan.

She is totally dedicated to dance and trains on average six hours a day, seven days a week.

Mundell also currently holds every major freestyle dance title in South Africa, including the South African national champion of champions title. Her ambition is to teach dance and to lead the next generation of SA dancers into the international arena and to build a formidable freestyle dance team.

In 2017, Mundell placed second in the adult premier slow dance section and placed fourth in the adult premier solo section in that year’s tournament, and last year for the first time she was named the champion in the premier championship section of the competition, making her one of only two South African women to ever do so. She has been attending championships since 2013.
