The dance competition will take place on Saturday, September 14 from 11 am until late while on Sunday 14 the dancers will compete from 11 am to 6 pm. «We will finish a bit earlier on Sunday as the kids have to prepare to go back to school on Monday,» said Kgatla. During the action-packed two days, the dancers have seven categories they will compete in including Ballroom dances, hip-hop and Seychelles' traditional dances. The principal secretary for culture, Cecile Kalebi, said her department fully supports the event once the local dancers register for the competition as this will open doors for them on the international scene. In addition to the dance-offs, judges in the event, which will include 10 Seychellois and eight internationals, will attend a seminar on Friday, September 13, to cover the criteria of the competition as well as how to judge the dancers.
