We are searching for the choreography that will move our people. If you have rhythm, creativity and pride, it is time to show it.

We are calling all scholars to create original dance routines that capture the rhythm and pride of Drakenstein.

Solo, crew, formal group, or street style – all styles are welcome.

How to Enter:

 • Create an original dance to the Drakenstein Anthem​

 • Film your routine

 • Post it on Facebook or Instagram

 • Tag @DrakensteinMunicipality

 • Use #DrakensteinDanceChallenge

The winning choreography could become the official choreographed dance for our anthem.

Between mountains and rivers, our story begins.

The song of Drakenstein rises from vineyards and valleys, carried by children who laugh, families who build and dreamers who create.

Now, it is time to move with it. Let the world see how Drakenstein breathes, sings and dances.
