GEORGE NEWS - A nineteen-year-old dancer who matriculated at York High School last year is the director of a dance production that features items performed by current York High dance students, three other dance schools and guest performances by local musicians and singers.
Shaela Heystek's production It's Classic will be showcased at the George Arts Theatre on Friday 20 September (19:00) and Saturday 21 September (15:00 and 19:00).
"Dance and entertainment can reach and speak to all audiences," said Heystek. "This is what I want to achieve with this production.
"Through the ages we find music, people, movement and soul that lives on today.
"The show is a throwback of events and memories that flow in this orchestration of our proud and exciting production."

Apart from the York High dance department, the other participating dance schools are Melissa Page School of Dance, Megan Wille School of Ballet and Dance 4 Joy, an adult ladies dance studio.
The programme will feature a ballroom duet, a ballet solo by Lismè Tulleken, vocal solo items by Laila Davidson and Mandi Kunana, a performance by saxophonist Lindsey Dickson and a violin solo by Simeï Verster.
Tickets cost R120 (adult) and R100 (children under 12). Contact Lizbè to book a ticket on 082 495 9589.
The production serves as a fundraiser to further Heystek's contribution to dance as an art form in Cape Town.
