Dynamic Dance Studio and Strictly Dancing dazzle at Laerskool Kruinsig showcase

Laerskool Kruinsig was alive with excitement on September 13, as Dynamic Dance Studio and Strictly Dancing joined forces for a showcase night, highlighting the exceptional talent of their dancers.

Children, young adults, adults, and elders came together to enjoy an evening of fun and entertainment.

From the youngest dancer at four years old to seasoned performers, the two studios gave the audience one of the most memorable dance nights yet.

“With hard work and dedication, you can achieve anything in life. But always have fun while putting in the effort. Our young dancers are still finding their identities and passions, and in that process, they should be uplifted, not broken,” Lamprecht said.

Strictly Dancing owner Leatitia Daschner shared her love for working with children and helping them develop into confident performers. “It is not always about being the best, but about loving what we do as dancers and teachers. I enjoy the energy children bring and helping to form them into respectable adults,” Daschner said.

The show was presented in two halves, keeping the audience entertained and eager for more. Dancers incorporated current trends and online challenges, appealing to attendees of all ages.

Audience member Matilda Matjila said she attended to support a dancer she knows. “I really wish I had the chance to join them on stage. The little ones are going very far, and I wish them all the best,” she said.

Performances in the first half included I Believe, Welcome to Brazil, Show Me Love in F1, Have Mercy, and Ordinary. Dancer Zuan Scheepers from Strictly Dancing delivered a solo performance before joining the group routines.

The second half transported the audience to the 1980s, featured a magical Harry Potter performance, and included a moving rendition of We Are the World in sign language, which touched the hearts of attendees.

“Ten-year-old dancer Abigail Phillips said, “I was born to be a dancer. Signing We Are the World was my favourite part of the show.”

The evening concluded with both studios performing Lady Gaga’s latest song, Abracadabra, led by Lamprecht, stunning in a red dress.

“Dancer Marishe Kriek reflected on her love of dance. “I enjoy expressing myself through my body, performing, wearing costumes, and doing makeup. The show was amazing, it was stressful at times, but it felt great to support each other and perform together.”
