South African dance crew Basic Black made the competition shake at the World Dance Masters earlier this month, scooping silver for their skills!
Global (28 June 2024) — South African dance crew Basic Black are anything but basic.
A formidable force in the world of dance hailing from the City of Cape Town, the crew have enjoyed numerous accolades for their collective talents and have added another to their tally recently—not that we can say we’re surprised, considering that none-other-than Rudi Smith choreographed their performance and Principal Kim Venter coached their path.
After heading to Porec in Croatia brimming with excitement and nerves after months of preparation work, Basic Black went on to moonwalk away with second place for the Senior Urban Formation leg of the competition after dancing against 53 countries.
Basic Black also happened to be the only South African dance crew who represented our country at the Senior Gala Night, making their time in Porec that much more special for Mzansi.
It was a huge moment for dancers like Jade Adams, who is also a MOD programme coach (Mass participation, Opportunity and access, Development and growth) for the Western Cape Government’s Department of Cultural Affairs & Sport.
As someone who spends a lot of time giving back to her community by teaching others how to hone their passions for movement and music, Jade now stands proudly as someone who danced her way toward her dreams; encouraging young dancers know that achieving one’s dreams is as possible as the work you’re willing to put in!
