This beautiful cast will be completed by some of the hottest young South African ballerinas most of whom have won awards nationally and internationally.

Joining the cast is Joshua Williams, who in 2016 at the South African International Ballet Competition, received a full scholarship to the world-renowned Zurich Dance academy. The 18 year old Mr Williams is currently in South Africa waiting to join the Stephen Delattre company in Mainz Germany.
