Some of the worlds finest ballet dancers are flocking to the Western Cape this week for the South African International Ballet Competition (SAIBC) taking place in Cape Town.
The competition runs from July 14th to 17th at the Artscape Theatre. Dancers began trickling into Cape Town a few days before the classical ballet event.
As the only country on the African continent and the only competition on the African continent that focuses purely on classical ballet as its mainstay competition, were very proud of what its achieved, SAIBC founder Dirk Badenhorst told The Citizen .
Also because we have some entrants from some of our neighbouring countries such as Kenya, Badenhorst added.
Now in its 11th year, the competition was established by Badenhorst in 2008. From 2021,the SAIBC was held annually.
