The revival of Riel dance in and around Wupperthal is a community initiative close to the heart of Bushmans Kloof and Floris Smith.
'Die Nuwe Graskoue Trappers' riel dance troupe was born in 2012 when Floris Smith made one of his frequent visits to the nearby village of Wupperthal, reaching out to the youth by starting a riel dance project supported by Bushmans Kloof.
An ex-professional dancer, he was blown away by their energetic performance and fanatic footwork, and set about offering his assistance to choreograph and train them.
