HOW IT STARTED
Shablam Dance Academy started out by renting studio space in various suburbs of Johannesburg.
In 2014 we were able to settle into a permanent studio we could call our own for 3 years.
We were fortunate enough to relocate to a bigger and better premises and are now residing in a more central area of Johannesburg.
Even though SDA has always been seen as a small private intensive studio, no stage has proven to be too big for our dancers.
