Moving into Dance

Moving into Dance (2004) is a large-scale sculpture by Orlando de Almeida, with fabrication by Charl van der Merwe. The work consists of seven figures in motion, introducing a sense of energy and movement within the Constitution Hill precinct.

The figures suggest rhythm, connection, and collective presence, symbolising the transition into a democratic South Africa after 1994. Their movement reflects ideas of unity across differences of race, gender, and belief, expressing a sense of optimism and shared future.
