Nay’ Le Dance
HAPPY dancing days are back again after the RedSquare Dance Competition paused in the previous year due to a worldwide outbreak of Covid 19.
Azo Shisa amateki and stages will be set alight with passion. An open challenge is out for performers with a talent to boogie to come sweat it out for a share of R180 000 in cash. Groups and solo dancers that believe they are nifty in S’bhujwa (Beng/Vosho), S’pantsula and hip- hop are called to enter the RedSquare Dance competition. Female groups will compete separately.
“The year 2022 would have been a Hola 7 years celebration for the RedSquare Dance Competition, but then Covid 19 happened. As a responsible brand, we had to play our part in saving lives. There is excitement from a brand perspective that we have an opportunity to pick up where we left off. We are ready to welcome dance participants out to make the 2022 leg of the competition even more exciting. Those will be hot and sexy dancers with the swag and dripping with the hunger to achieve,” says Edward Makhayne, RedSquare Sales manager.
RedSquare Dance Competition entries open on 13 February and close on the 28th. Auditions will be rolled out in Soweto, Ekurhuleni, Emfuleni, Tshwane, Polokwane, Durban and Bloemfontein.
A winning crew in each category stand a chance to take home R40 000 with solo dancers competing for R10 000 in cash. An overall winner of the competition stands to pocket an extra R10 000 after securing majority thumbs up from the audience at the Dance Competition grand finale.
Entry information and audition outlets are available on https://redsquaredance.co.za. Finalists will battle it out at a grand finale scheduled for 30 April.
ABOUT THE RED SQUARE DANCE COMPETITION
Dance is the most basic and relevant of all forms of expression. People from all walks of life can participate in the art form.
The RedSquare Dance Competition caters for dancers ready to set the stage alight. Through moves to the beat of their hopes and dreams, they pave and paint the way to success.
It is a competitive platform of hope and possibilities. RedSquare, as a brand, views the dance competition as a vehicle through which to give back by presenting a stage of additional exposure for amateur dancers and a cash injection to the winners. It is about encouraging young people to further professionalize and use their natural talent in generating income for themselves.
Previous winners of the RedSquare Dance Competition include the Soweto dance crew – Soulistic Fusion Trio. The S’bhujwa dance group won the 2015 RedSquare Dance competition through their energetic and effortless fusion of various cultural and dance influences. In 2017 Musa Motha, a member of a hip dance group Dynamic Crew, used his one leg to help his crew win R35 000.
