The Dance Co, Cape Town

Viv Pullin started as a student dance teacher at the age of 16, in the Pinelands North Primary School, along side the then resident teacher, Viviene. In between teaching and dancing professionally, Viv also did a Degree in Radiography and became affectionately know as the dancing Radiographer. However Viv’s passion for dance stayed with her, and 35 years ago, the Viv Pullin School of Dance was born. In 1977, Viv married an italian and started a studio in Italy which she ran very successfully for 6 years in the town of Molfetta and Trani. In 1982 Viv returned to Cape Town and the Viv Pullin School of Dance reopened in the Congregational Church Hall, in Pinelands. The studio had about 150 pupils and offered modern and dance fitness classes. Jen Stretch joined the Viv Pullin School of Dance in 1990, and quickly became Viv’s right hand lady, the time she has put into teaching and the morning dance classes has been invaluable. To add to this, Jen has become one of the best costume designers in Cape Town and also runs the very successful Rondebosch branch of The Dance Co. We also offer the Dance Fitness Club which caters for all who enjoy exercise in dance form. The Dance Co is a studio that offers dance, movement and fitness to all, from 4 years of age to 60 years old.
