KHAYELITSHA, 29 October 2010 (PlusNews) – Shrieks of laughter echo through the community centre in the Cape Town township of Khayelitsha as 20 children aged between four and 15 play a game of tag.

They are part of the Cirque du Monde Ibhongolwethu Project run by Cape Town’s Zip Zap Circus School with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

The Zama Dance School Trust

Category: Dancemark @ 1:26 pm

The Zama Dance School Trust grew out of one woman’s drive to teach ballet to underprivileged children matched equally by patron Raymond Ackerman’s desire to nurture their careers in the arts.

“Zama students come primarily from disadvantaged backgrounds. In their principal, Arlene Westergaard, I found a woman who through sheer guts and determination was teaching these kids to express their joy, their anger and their emotions through the mediums of dance and music,” says Ackerman.
