Alive and Dancing

We thoroughly enjoyed multiple dancing performance put on by youth who work with an after school program. The dedication of these children is inspiring. As we watched we saw children as young as six sweating away under the African sun as they whole heartedly focused on learning the steps to their gumboot dancing (see center picture). We also enjoyed lively dancing from the girls and extremely unique dancing from a group of teens who had found their way into Kliptown (a section of Soweto) on their from their rural homes into Johannesburg where they were looking for work.
