MERAKI DANCE FESTIVAL

Jazzart Dance Theatre proudly presents the second Meraki Dance Festival—a vibrant celebration and testament of the evolving spirit of dance in South Africa. More than just a series of performances, Meraki is a dynamic platform where boundaries are pushed, and new voices emerge.

The Theatre stage presents bold, original works by professional choreographers and established companies, while the Arena stage gives voice to rising choreographers and talented young dancers, with performances thoughtfully curated to inspire and engage school-aged audiences.
