40th Port Elizabeth Dance Festival

This prestigious Festival was founded by Jennifer Abraham and Hermione Ballinger to provide stage performance opportunity for all dancers, the benefit of feedback from professional adjudicators, and the pure exuberance of a celebration of dance shared by all studios in the area.
PEDF has grown in leaps and bounds over the last 4 decades and is now proud to host every dance form including ballet, contemporary / modern, tap, hip-hop, Spanish, Indian, Irish, African, fusion / free movement / ballroom dancing, cheerleading and adaptive dance (freestyle).

This year every participating dancer will receive a special PEDF commemorative medal. This medal is bound to be a sought-after keepsake for all, especially those dancers (and parents) who have grown up as regular participants in the PE Dance Festival with its proud reputation as one of South Africa’s finest Dance Festivals.

Due to lockdown level 3, limited seats are available.

All the traditional much-loved trophies and awards will be up for grabs as usual, as well as a few extra very special awards for 2021.
The Festival will culminate in a glitzy gala celebration which will feature the performance highlights of the Festival as well as the Awards Presentation.
