Little Sage Jane wants to go to Johannesburg to compete in the National Ballet Championship, but lacks the funds to travel there.
Eight-year-old ballet dancer Sage Faith Jane has already done the hard part, she practised, competed and earned her place at the Dance Waves National Championships.
Now, R15 000 stands between the Mitchell’s Plain youngster and the chance to take her place on a national stage in Roodepoort, Johannesburg, on September 19. Sage, a Grade 2 learner at Westville Primary School, is one of the young dancers from First Step Dance School in Westridge who qualified after the school brought home two Gold medals and one Silver at regional level.
For Sage, who has been dancing for just over two years, qualifying with a gold medal brought a flood of emotions.
“I was very overwhelmed, happy and very excited to know all the days I practised made a difference and that people enjoyed it so much,” she said.
