More SwingTime in Cape Town

This is the first time that the audience can look forward to seeing SwingTime danced by Bovim Ballet, enhanced by a completely new set and dazzling costumes by Klûk and CGDT.

An exciting addition to the cast is accomplished vocalist, Francois Lliam (Blue Eyes to Buble, Jesus Chris Superstar, We Will Rock You), singing popular tunes including Miss Jones, Fever, Mr Bojangles, Mack the Knife and others.

Nostalgic journey

SwingTime takes the audience on a nostalgic journey of the Big Band Era. The story centres around Bojangles, the owner of the Swing Club where it all happened. Bojangles' journey takes the audience back in time where romance was the order of the day, and dancing was a way of life for the young and young-at-heart. The audience will accompany Bojangles on his trip down memory lane, where he remembers his past loves and the shenanigans during his time at The Swing Club. The role of Bojangles will be performed by Grant Swift.

The audience can expect Bovim's technically demanding choreography, while at the same time being thrilled by beautifully created costumes, a fantastic collection of songs, and Bovim's talented troupe of dancers.

Local talent

The audience can look forward to seeing the local talent of Kerryn Howard, Tanya Futter, Kirsten Isenberg, Faye Dubinski, Simone Muller, Jennifer Middleton, Kristin Wilson and Nicola Marais. Male dancers include Grant Swift, Marc Goldberg, Shaun Brian Murphy, Ignatius Van Heerden, Devon Marshbank, James Bradley, Kyle Rossouw and Owen Manamela.

Bovim stated: "The show fuses the jazzy rhythms of 1930's Broadway with the quick-step demands of ballet en-pointe. I am excited to be working with this high calibre of dancers that have joined Bovim Ballet."
