    Mzobane



    Dance from the streets of South Africa. Experience the traditional township dance of Pantsula with breaking, hip hop and tap.



    Be transported to the world of the Shebeen, where two rival dance groups compete in a thrilling dance off.

     

    Via Volcano are nine dancers from the Kagiso township outside Johannesburg. Together with British choreographer and hip hop icon Benji Reid, they fuse the traditional township dance of Pantsula with breaking, hip hop and tap.

     

    Pantsula is the dance of the streets and the crew’s style of dress - with baggy trousers and Converse sneakers – has become their trademark.

     

    With exhilarating moves that will leave you on a high, this is an energetic and feel good show not to be missed.
