Join the Music Trivia Fundraiser at Eddie Macs on September 20th—tickets are R100 per person, with proceeds aiding the team’s journey to Cape Town.

A talented group of dancers from the Eastern Cape, led by coaches Ashleigh Maling Nel and Kirstin Dina Rossi, have qualified to compete in the Dance Sport Club League Nationals, taking place from October 25th to 27th in Cape Town. These athletes earned their place after a series of impressive performances at regional competitions in Port Elizabeth. 

The athletes competed at the Street Dance Association Dance Sport Club League Eastern Cape competitions, and they qualified and are eligible to receive their Eastern Cape Provincial Colours from the Eastern Cape Sports Confederation, by applying through the Federation of Dance Sport Eastern Cape. This marks a significant milestone as they prepare to represent their province on the national stage.

Throughout the year, the team participated in two qualifying Dance Sport Club League competitions, showcasing their skill and dedication to reach this prestigious level. Under the expert choreography of Ashleigh Maling Nel and Kirstin Dina Rossi, their African-themed performance at a recent competition was awarded double gold, underscoring the exceptional talent and creativity within the group. With national honors in sight, the team is eager to make the Eastern Cape proud as they head to Cape Town later this month.

This opportunity not only highlights the dancers’ individual talent but also shines a spotlight on the importance of dance as a growing sport in South Africa. Representing their province at a national level, these young athletes will gain invaluable experience and exposure, all while bringing pride to their community. The event will further inspire local youth to pursue their passions in dance and sport, promoting teamwork, discipline, and artistic expression.

To support Team Eastern Cape in their journey to Nationals, a Music Trivia Fundraiser will be held at Eddie Macs on September 20th at 6:00 PM. Tickets are available for R100 per person, with teams of 8. For bookings, contact Ashleigh Maling Nel at 081 771 5818. All proceeds will go towards covering travel and accommodation expenses for the team.
