Wolcome to our new Dancescape South Africa Office.
The new office space is in the KWV Building, 43 Long Street, Montagu. This move was initiated mostly by Sandra Reichert, who is the current chairperson on the Dancescape Board of Trustees. Sandra has put a lot of time and effort and her money in creating the space to suite Dancescape. Thank you Sandra, so much for this. The objective of this office is to be able to interact in a much easier way with our general public. Here we can show off the project and hopefully inspire an interest about DSA to the local community and those who visit our lovely town.

The office has a display of the Dancescape South Africa (DSA) Story. Here visitors can learn more about how DSA was formed, it’s history and the person who inspired it’s creation. It is a tribute to the Late Fiona Sargeant, the organizations founding member. It is also a record of the last 10 years of DSA’s existence.

We were very fortunate to inherit a puppet theatre which was left behind from the previous occupants of this space, infact many of the props and some furniture were also left behind and we have put most of it to good use. The puppet theatre is now being used to show off dance videos of our students performing. It works well as it creates that theatre experience.
