\u2019n OPVOEDER van die Ho\u00ebrskool Newtown op Fort Beaufort is besig om \u2019n positiewe bydrae te maak in die gemeenskap waarin hy werk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
En dit nogal met sierlike danspassies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benewens sy opvoedkundige pligte gee die 24-jarige Regan Afrika daagliks van 16:00 tot 18:00 dansklasse in die Newtown-woonbuurt se gemeenskapsaal. Sy groep oefen dikwels ook op Saterdae vir minstens drie ure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afrika se passie vir langarm en Latyns-Amerikaanse dans het reeds vlamgevat toe hy by die Ho\u00ebrskool Cilli\u00e9 in die Baai was. Dit was een van vele buitemuurse aktiwiteite waaraan hy deelgeneem het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afrika het al aan vele danskompetisies deelgeneem en heel dikwels met die louere weggestap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy vertoonkas pronk met 30 trofees en niks minder as 15 medaljes. Tans dans hy met Britney Ward in die voor-kampioenskap-afdeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het weens sy betrokkenheid by dans al die ganse land deurkruis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het in sy eerste jaar van studie by die Fort Hare universiteit voortgegaan met dans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met sy aanstelling op Fort Beaufort het hy die dansklub \u201cFort Beaufort Dancing Stars\u201d wat in 2016 platgeval het, weer op die been gebring. Die groep bestaan uit 17 lede met heelwat belangstelling van mense wat wil aansluit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In \u2019n onderhoud met Mid-Karoo Express<\/i> die afgelope week het di\u00e9 kranige afrigter ges\u00ea dat hy groot drome vir die groep het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy wil onder meer graag h\u00ea dat hulle in ander provinsies moet gaan meeding maar hulle word deur \u2019n gebrek aan borgskappe gekniehalter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dis sy begeerte dat sy dansers hom sy prestasies moet nadoen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ouers het hul dankbaarheid teenoor Express<\/i> jeens die dansgroep uitgespreek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit hou ons kinders uit die straat en weg van dwelms en ander euwels,\u201d het een ouer ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTeen volgende jaar wil ek sogenaamde novice couples<\/i> afrig met die oog dat hulle die Oos-Kaapse span kan haal om hul provinsie te verteenwoordig,\u201d het \u2019n trotse Afrika ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarna mik hy dat een van sy danspaartjies SA-kleure moet kry en hul land internasionaal gaan verteenwoordig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luidens Afrika is dans \u2019n duur stokperdjie en is dit vir baie ouers nie moontlik om die kostes te betaal nie. Daarom is lootjies en donasielyste die dansklub se enigste bron van inkomste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met hul eerste kompetisie in Oos-Londen het die danspaartjie Roshaan White en Athenkosi Dani\u00ebls die eerste prys losgedans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy grootste droom is vir ons dansers om die Oos-Kaap se naam hoog te hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis enige afrigter se droom om sy dansers op nasionale televisie te sien en my dansers beskik oor daardie potensiaal,\u201d het Afrika ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
En dan wil hierdie afrigter ook nog sy dansers by SA\u2019s Got Talent<\/i> inskryf sodat die hele land kan sien hoe goed hulle is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
