'Mandela's Dancers' explores an overlooked chapter in the history of post-liberation South Africa: the dance scholarship programme at the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, which provided 23 South African dance students the opportunity to study in London from 1995 to 2003. Drawing on archival photographs and personal recollections, the author highlights the personal experiences of six of those dancers and Mandela's significance for contemporary dance.
