The dance festival attracted national and international dancers and audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately 100 dancers participated in the dance festival and the Egyptian <span>Cinderella<\/span>, a dance through story-telling addressing xenophobia and racism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis in itself gave the young dancers the opportunity to learn that we have to remove barriers and spread love and unity. The funding will give the Aphrodite Belly Dancers the opportunity to participate in the annual Miss SA Belly Dance competition in Johannesburg on Tuesday 21 March. Besides the competition, the dancers can also attend workshops with renowned international belly dance teachers,\u201d says Stephanie Singh, director of the Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshops will up-skill the dancers and for many dancers, this is a dream come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aphrodite Belly Dance Studio strives to deliver community development through the art of creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe created jobs for residents in Strandfontein and surrounding areas in costume making, props design and making, social media empowerment, to learn how to choreograph and cosmetology,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><function><s1>V <\/s1> <s2>For more information contact Stephanie Singh on 072 317 6139 or email kajolhealth@gmail.com<\/s2> <\/function>
