It was South Africa’s turn to welcome a galaxy of visiting ballet stars for the International Ballet Gala, at the Teatro in Montecasino, Johannesburg on 9 July 2011.

Excited ballet enthusiasts could see the incredible talents of Alys Shee (Canada), Brooklyn Mack (USA), Elza Leimane (Latvia) as well as Johannesburg-born Andile Ndlovu. The event had audiences cheering the ballet stars as they set the stage alight with dancing, both sophisticated and powerful.
