This weekend I did quite a lot. On Saturday I started by going to Pretoria east to do a Latin dancing exam at Beverley Hammond Dance School. http://www.beverleyhammond.co.za Luckily it wasn’t my exam, I had already done this exam at the end of last year so I was just partnering my new dance partner who […]
I went to the Market Theatre in Johannesburg to watch a dance show called Exit/Exist.

He died on Robben Island prison. The dancer was Chief Maqoma’s […]

Last week I went with my parents to a new restaurant called as Greek as it Gets in Menlo Park in Pretoria. The chef who is in charge is called Stavros. I know him because he also has a restaurant in a place called Cullinan that I have been to before. I haven’t been to […]
