 27 February - 2nd March 2008 Artscape Theatre

Cape Town City Ballet (CTCB) & Dance for All Youth Company (DFAYC) jointly present Summer Spectacular at Artscape Theatre from 27th February to 2nd March 2008.
The repertoire selected for the season consists of thrilling pas de deux and solos from well-known great classical ballets such as Don Quixote, Le Corsaire, Paquita, Giselle and Bacchanale, amongst others.
Royal Ballet-trained Megan Swart will perform Kenneth McMillan's exquisite Concerto pas de deux with Brock Hayhoe and Reika Sato, recently a finalist in the South African International Ballet Competition, will perform Don Quixote with Emmerich Schmollgruber. Members of the Dance for All Youth Company include Zandile Constable, who recently danced the lead in Kami, as well as Xola Putye and Nqaba Mafilika, all of whom have recently returned from a tour to New Zealand, where they performed once again with the Buskaid Soweto String Ensemble.
The ever-popular Tango Nights, Sean Bovim's hugely successful neo-classical ballet, will be presented in its entirety. Bovim created the dynamic work in 2007 to great acclaim by audiences and critics and the work features innovative pas de deux such as the breath-taking 'Table Duet', which will be performed by Laura Bosenberg and Robin van Wyk, and the exciting finale 'Roxanne', performed to the emotive music of the film Moulin Rouge.
