ART THROUGH DANCING

Sakata Dancers was an organisation that was started by the Catholic Church and later left the members to manage themselves. Their main goal was to entertain people through dancing. we later got sponsorship from the G.A.P group of dancers and we later dissolved to form a stronger and and more united GAP. They introduced commercial dancing whereby we were paid for dancing in social gatherings. The pay was good and more people were encouraged to join the group.

We became professional dancers and people booked us for social events. This was a perfect way of killing time instead of being idle at home and it was a good way of earning some cash. We started operating at provincial levels and now the pay was even better we even could afford to pay for hotels if we had a distant gig.

Problems arose when another group joined our group with the promise of upgrading us and taking us to a whole new level at first it was successful but when the money came in plenty the leaders started being greedy and mismanaged the money hence the group collapsed.
