Johannesburg-based dance company WGRUV (pronounced “W-Groove”) begins their 2026 season with a brand-new show: “JUXTAPOSE”.

“JUXTAPOSE” is a contemporary ballet work that places the human body under tension – physically, emotionally and symbolically. Rooted in classical ballet and driven by contemporary movement language, the work explores what it means to remain human in moments of strain, exposure, and change.

“Human Exposure” by Holly Gruver, is an examination of vulnerability and presence. “Not Forgotten” by Lex Gruver confronts unseen histories and silent grief.
In “Rooms Rewired”, choreographed by Holly Gruver, the focus turns inward. Finding collaborative creation with dancer Vuyelwa Phota, identity is questioned as the dancer navigates transformation while staying anchored to roots that create stability. The programme concludes with “Waxing Moon” by international choreographer, Robyn Mineko Williams, a work of quiet expansion and renewal. Growth unfolds gradually, embracing process rather than resolution.

WGRUV Dance Company presents quality productions with works by local and international choreographers. The newly created three works ‘JUXTAPOSE’, ‘Highlights’ and ‘Angels In Africa’ that make up the 2026 programme, can be defined as: ‘One Line. Three Visions. Infinite Humanity.
