'We're staying away from the social ills using dance'

Jarrel Mathebula co-founded the Indigenous Dance Academy in South Africa to help youngsters stay away from troubles. He says the best way is through dance. In the township of Thembisa his academy has taken a style invented by gangsters and is now teaching it to youngsters to help them earn money and qualify for college bursaries.
