Mia Boughan (9), a learner of the Staats Primary School in Kimberley, participated in New York in the Show Your Talent international dance competition.

She was welcomed back in Kimberley by amongst other the MEC for Social Development, Youth, Women, People with Disabilities and Sport, Arts and Culture, Nontobeko Vilakazi, who said that as a department they strive to assist the creative and cultural industries in various genres as far as possible.

Mia is coached by Theane Willemse.
