African Ballet

Most African kids have great like for ballet dance. Unfortunately, the grandparents and parents of these kids at some points love ballet dance but had no opportunity to express this likeness on stage. Many reasons were responsible for this situation. The most handy one is that there is rarely an African who knows how to dance or teach ballet in the normal African communities.
This certainly did not help the growth of ballet in Africa.
But presently, that's not entirely the case, even though the light of this outstanding dance brand has not shone in most parts of the African soil. Still on that, many parts of Africa is enjoying the joy that comes with dancing ballet —be  classical or contemporary.

According to Wikipedia, ballet is a type of performance dance that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century and later developed into a concert dance form in France and Russian. It has since become a widespread, highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary based on French terminology.

We rarely hear much about ballet dance in Africa but be sure of one thing, ballet is gradually reaching places in Africa. Many African countries have ballet rolling in their soils, in different forms - classical, contemporary. Here is a short list of ballet schools in Africa. We are not in any way affiliated with these schools. This is base on information and education purpose. So you can simply do your check on anyone and proceed as you wish.

1. Joburg Ballet
2. University of cape Town(UCT)
3. SPAN Academy
4. Mona Dance School

The list goes on and on. Some African countries like south Africa, Nigeria and a few others have good numbers of ballet dance schools and this shows the love Africans have for the art. In say ten years from now, ballet will grow to become a common dance style in many parts of Africa.
