Today is the 52nd International Literacy Day. The UN initiative has a focus on Literacy and Skills Development this year, and dancers Braigen Yunnie (10), Madison Behm (11), Phumzile Zide (12), Ammer Basson (15), Teegan Canham (11) and Taurin Yunnie (13) are pictured in the wings of the Playhouse Opera stage during the final dress rehearsal of the annual dance extravaganza, Shall We Dance. The trio are part of Dance Basics group and will be dancing every night until the 16 September, between acts when they are not front and centre, the youngsters steal moments to do their homework or catch up on reading.
