Bovim Ballet’s toe-tapping, hip-swaying rock ‘n roll ballet Private Presley takes you on a tour of the defining moments and the private liaisons in the life of Elvis Presley, the King of Rock.
Set to over 20 of Elvis’ greatest hits, Sean Bovim has Cape Town audiences all shook up with his latest ballet creation. It’s only on at the Artscape Theatre until 7 April 2013, so get your tickets and read more about it here.
