This year marks the 21st anniversary of the Dance Umbrella. The festival began in 1989 as a three day showcase of local talent.

The dance piece <i>Back</i> is a showcase of timid, introspective motions and brazenly aggressive ones by performers Dada Masilo and Lulu Mlangeni.

The dance establishment is benefiting from some new recruits. Matthew Krouse reports on the FNB Dance Umbrella’s 20th birthday bash.
