I don't like cricket-I love it! and Hawaiian dancing.

And we thought this week was going to be quiet. It started off with a phone call for Chloe to join the cricket dancing team for the T20 South Africa vs Australia match on Sunday 16th oct, which meant 3 days of rehearsals, and then the next day for Beth to audition as well. This all came about from an audition Chloe did for 'Dance your Butt off' TV show, where she met an amazing dancer ( Tracy) who recommended her for the cricket dancing . So after three days of rehearsals, on Sunday Beth and Chloe danced for 3 hours with 27 other dancers (the match was televised on Super Sport 2).The way cricket dancing works is there are a number of  stages around the stadium and every time a 4 or a 6 is hit the dancers have to jump on the stage and do a certain routine that coincides with that number. 
 Each team has three members. Above: the girls team.

Then came another call, could they perform with Oriental fire on Friday ETV Sunrise live at 5:45 am. But of course they can

Friday afternoon Chloe taught a Hawaiian dance workshop, teaching not only the moves but all the word meaning of the motions. Then Chloe and Beth did Hawaiian fire dancing  followed by Limbo dancing for all. This package is great for young and old and has been such a hit over the last two years.

Then on Saturday they performed at the FNB Diwali Gauteng Festival at New-town with Oriental Fire
doing theOriental Fire bolly-wood Medley  (this is rehearsal footage) and  Burning on the dance floor (the three girls are on the right hand side of the stage, low quality footage, but still fun to watch)

Dance your heart out

Over the last week the girls have danced their heart out switching between so many different dance styles. From Hip Hop, Show girl, Latin and ballroom, Cabaret, Contemporary,Bollywood,  Bellydance, Fire, Micheal Jackson style and more.( next week we will be posting more pictures and video clips-once edited)

First was the Fourways High Matric dance,held at the Indaba Hotel, the theme being ‘White’ they danced in some amazing show girl outfits, then cabaret, contemporary and hip hop. This was all done accompanying a live singer ( who flew up from Capetown for the show) which is always a challenge. 
Back stage with the singer. Notice the amazing feathers  attached to the girls legs. 
The next day one of their friends had their 21st birthday and Beth and Chloe did bellydance, poi, and fire.



Then the next day they performed for the opening of a new shopping center again switching through several dance styles.  They had a chance to  to wear some amazing outfits.:

Two days later we brought all our teens from our township “ youth at risk programme” back to our residential training center The Family Africa for a 'Fun day', and the girls taught them a hip hop routine. 



Chloe and her latin/ballroom partner Jo were booked to  perform at a wedding, dancing samba, jive and  cha-cha.


Then as the Grande finale to the week they danced with Oriental fire at the prestigious wedding of Osman Ali and his fiancĂ©e ( He is the owner of 4 CornerZ Entertainment ) dancing bollywood, bellydance, fire and latin and ballroom (with Jo Meama).
Some of the family of the happy couple came back stage to take photos with the girls! ( as this was between costume changes only a BB was available for pics-as noted by the fact that Chloe and Tirzah only have half their costumes on :)
