Two dance crews from Mitchell’s Plain showed the Mother City what they’re made of when they took to the stage at the V&A Waterfront Amphitheatre last Saturday for the City’s Move with Melody Dance-Offs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devolution Dance Family from Tafelsig walked away with the second prize of R5 000 after delivering what judges called a “spectacular high-octane performance” that had the crowd on their feet from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group, who mixed several dance genres into one seamless act, impressed all three judges with their storytelling and energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They drew the audience and judges straight into the story from beginning to end,” said competition organisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also representing Mitchell’s Plain were Aiden & Tatum from Rocklands, who made it into the top 10 finalists out of hundreds of entries across Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The competition, held as part of the City’s 2025 Festive Lights Switch-On celebrations, saw 10 dance crews battle it out in front of an enthusiastic crowd. Dance styles ranged from hip-hop and street choreography to Afro-fusion and ballroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First place and R10 000 went to Ipeko Dance Group from Philippi, while Gugulethu United We Stand Dance Group scooped third place and R2 500. Devolution Dance Family will now join the other top three crews on the main stage at the Grand Parade on Sunday 30 November, for the official Festive Lights Switch-On event. They’ll perform alongside big names like DJ Zinhle, Kurt Darren, and GoodLuck in front of thousands of Capetonians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“All 10 finalists clearly showcased Cape Town’s immense talent,” said the City, which has committed to using all the dance groups for events throughout the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Festive Lights Switch-On promises to be a spectacular family day out, complete with pyrotechnics and video mapping on the City Hall to welcome in the summer season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
