ABSTRACT
South Africa is a multiethnic society, encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages. However, the vast majority of black South Africans were not enfranchised until 1994. Since 1994, all ethnic and linguistic groups have held political representation in the country's democracy, which is comprised of a parliamentary republic and nine provinces. Moving into Dance (MID) is South Africa's premiere professional, full-time, contemporary African dance company, training academy, and outreach program, with a national and international footprint. MID continues to be involved in outreach programs through Edudance is used as the medium through which educational and scholarly concepts are taught, and through which social issues are introduced from a safe and non-threatening platform. The MID Professional Dance Company brings fluency to the language of movement and extends the limitations of the human body to produce inspired dance and beautiful movement narratives.
