After watching this dance routine, it isn’t hard to understand why local dance crew Basic Black scooped silver (and perhaps broke out of the matrix) at the World Dance Masters!
Cape Town, South Africa (23 July 2024) — Last month, South Africans did a figurative dance routine of our own after we learned that local dance crew Basic Black had made us enormously proud at the World Dance Masters.
The Cape Town-based dancers headed to Croatia’s Porec for the competition with high hopes, dreams and nerves (that never showed) as they represented our country with the kind of cool rhythm and ‘effortless’ synchronicity most of us can rarely muster, if ever.
Armed with a dance routine choreographed by none-other-than industry legend Rudi Smit, dancer’s DNA and ineffable energy, Basic Black was primed with everything necessary to make the competition one for the books. And that’s exactly what they did: earning silver against 53 countries in the Senior Urban Formation leg of the competition! Impressively, they were also the only crew who represented South Africa at the Senior Gala Night.
Since then, South Africans have eagerly been awaiting to see the moves behind the feat. Lucky for us, good things come to those who wait.
Rudi has officially shared the dance routine he choreographed for Basic Black and let us be the first to tell you—it’s art in motion.
Cool, calm, collected and perhaps on a mission to break out of the matrix—it’s no surprise that Basic Black positively ate at Worlds.
