The "50 Years of Dance Celebratory Festival" is an exciting, stimulating and thoroughly celebratory programme, elevating and honouring the life-changing impact and longevity of contemporary dance in South Africa. The festival will showcase an exciting host of national and international guest companies and artists, featuring Jazzart's young, energetic, and ambitious students and their professional company of dancers.

Jazzart's celebrated alumni Sifiso Kweyama, Celeste Botha and Shaun Oelf showcase works alongside multiple award-winning choreographers Vincent Mantsoe and Gregory Maqoma. They are joined by South African dance legend Sylvia Glasser and Moving into Dance which shares an historic legacy with Jazzart, being one of South Africa?s longest standing contemporary dance companies.

The programme includes solos, duets and short works created by graduates from Jazzart and an extract of a collaborative work with Unmute Dance Theatre by Andile Vellem and Yaseen Manuel.
