The South African Tourism agency announced that four dancers from The Joffery Ballet's Community Engagement Program have earned an 8-day, 7-night trip to South Africa.

Winners include: Christopher Huerta, Kevin Ambrose, Renee Simmons, and Vivica Futrell.

The troupe performs the traditional dance known as Diski, which is the township slang for soccer.
