SANDT Spring Gala

Joburg Ballet’s Spring Season of Dance opens in spectacular style with the glittering SANDT Spring Gala at the Joburg Theatre on Friday, 3 October.

The Gala promises a world-class evening that unites leading local and international talent. Guests are invited to dress for the occasion, enjoy pre-performance drinks and snacks, and experience an unforgettable night at the theatre.
