One part of travelling is being able to take home with you something that represents the culture of a place to show your friends and family. Another part of travelling is understanding the people of the place you visited. Dance serves both purposes because on one hand, it is an intangible souvenir that you can go back home with and show your friends and family. On the other hand, Dance will also allow you to understand people in the township better because it is such a big part of township culture. It is how we feel joy, let go of our problems, experience freedom and express ourselves. I provide a platform not only for you to see the township but to learn an essential part of township culture, which is the way we dance. And the people will appreciate you more trying to relate to them in this way. Come interact with the township in a fun and interesting way. Come get down to the rhythm that has defined our unique quality. Come dance for dancing's sake
