Katlehong Cabaret
Via Katlehong are today part of the international choreographic landscape, multiplying tours and success. Via Katlehong is by size, the second township of South Africa. Bullets fly low, the crime is ordinary. But on stage, these young artists do not breathe a word. It is the glory of their traditions that they sing and dance, while bringing their own inventiveness to develop a contemporary language. Dances and songs follow one another, drumming, jumping from one sketch to another, convivial, varied. The magazine is adorned with incredible demonstrations of gumboots (dance in rubber boots born in the mines), tap (movement and hits on the ground), hip hop, pantsula, a cappella songs, percussions... Each gives the best, in a freedom and total pleasure.

Western classical dance enters the modernity of the 20th century: The Ballets russes and the Ballets suédois
If the 19th century is that of romanticism, the entry into the new century is synonymous of modernity! It was a few decades later that it would be assigned, a posteriori, the name of “neo-classical”.
LATITUDES CONTEMPORAINES
The committed artist
In all the arts and here especially in dance, the artist sometimes creates to defend a cause, to denounce a fact, to disturb, to shock. Here is a panorama of some "committed" choreographic creations.
CHRISTIAN & FRANÇOIS BEN AÏM – VITAL MOMENTUM
[1970-2018] Neoclassical developments: They spread worldwide, as well as having multiple repertoires and dialogues with contemporary dance.
In the 1970s, artists’ drive towards a new classic had been ongoing for more than a half century and several generations had already formed since the Russian Ballets. As the years went by, everyone defended or defends classical dance as innovative, unique, connected to the other arts and the preoccupations of its time.
