performing contracts in the process.
Skimpy dresses, near nudeness and heavy make-up characterised the show and there is no doubt that the day belonged to ladies blessed with temerity and dexterity, who were willing to go the extra mile to excite the cheering crowd that braved the chilly night.
The girls showed their versatility on the dance floor as they danced to different genres and beats.
Girls of Peace danced to the late System Tazvida’s songs much to the delight of the fans.
During his lifetime, Tazvida called himself “Rombe Guru”, and true to the assertion, the girls were wearing tattered clothes. Their nimble-footedness left the crowd in awe.
However, it was the group Syndicate Girls, that stole the show with their pulsating dances. The group mesmerised fans when they danced to Alick Macheso’s song “Shedia”. So good was the group that fans demanded an encore.
Raunchy dancer Beverley “Bev” Sibanda, who was obviously the toast of the night, could not hide her admiration for the group and forked out US$20.
The group emerged the biggest beneficiary as other recvellers followed suit.
Though sungura was the main genre preferred by many groups, others got down to serious business dancing to reggae and hip-hop.
What was refreshing was the unity shown by different dance groups. Girls could be seen congratulating each other after the performances.
Though billed to be the Clash of the Titans, there was no bad blood between the dancers. After all, they were only dancing to impress the judges who, in turn, would give them dancing contracts.
“This is not a clash per se; we are trying to find the suitable groups to perform at our bar. Good groups will perform here,” said an official from City Sports Bar.
More action was, however, in the crowd where revellers could be seen enjoying every moment.
They wined, snacked and cuddled until the wee hours of yesterday.
Harpers Mapimhidze of Dancers Association of Zimbabwe was obviously ecstatic about the show.
“We are very happy because the show was a success and without any incidents.
“It’s very refreshing to see dancers committing themselves,” he enthused.
