The hip-hop and breakdancer, who lives in Primrose, has been invited to compete in the Sun Sea Festival in Lloret De Mar in Spain in July.<\/p>\n
He will be competing as part of a 17-member hip-hop team all from KeZone in Edenglen, Edenvale, and will also be doing solos in breakdancing and a combined singing and dancing category.<\/p>
\u201cDancing and entertainment in general is my passion, and even if it does not work out as a career, I will always dance,\u201d Earl said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also enjoy teaching dance.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, for Earl and the other team members, the dream of competing at the festival is not a reality yet as they need to raise the funds to travel to Spain.<\/p>\n Each team member needs to raise R25 000 to cover all the costs.<\/p>\n The team members have been holding a number of fund-raisers to get them closer to their goal.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a team we are doing shows at schools, karaoke shows or anything that revolves around dancing to try and earn the money,\u201d Earl said.<\/p>\n They need to have each raised the money they need by the end of May, and need R5 500 by the end of February to secure their place.<\/p>\n Earl added that he also does graffiti art and sign writing to earn money.<\/p>\n The young man is also into his music and enjoys rapping and singing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ALSO READ:<\/p>\n The art of living, dancing with energetic Earl<\/a><\/p>\n Three world titles steer Tatijana into the history books of dance<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n He works with his friend, Ntsako Makhubela (aka Maestro), and the pair has released a number of tracks on SoundCloud.<\/p>\n Earl (aka LyricEarl) is also working on an album which will be released next year.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to put the East Rand on the map by doing well in Spain,\u201d Earl said.<\/p>\n If you want to help Earl further his dreams, contact him on 062 359 4905.<\/p>\n He is also available to do graffiti art and signwriting anywhere it is needed.<\/p>\n To find out more about the team and to assist or book them for a fund-raising show contact Kerryn Stow, the owner of KeZone, via email at kerrynstow@gmail.com or WhatsApp her on 084 589 3748.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hav<\/strong>e a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n Contact the newsroom by emailing: Melissa Hart (Editor)\u00a0<\/span>germistoncitynews@caxton.co.za <\/a><\/strong>or Leigh Hodgson (News Editor)\u00a0<\/span>leighh@caxton.co.za<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>or Kgotsofalang Mashilo (journalist)\u00a0kgotsofalangm@caxton.co.za<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Remember to visit the Germiston City News on the following social media platforms:<\/p>\n Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Twitter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n YouTube<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Or add the GCN on\u00a0<\/b><\/span>WhatsApp 079 406 1181<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>or\u00a0BBM (BBM Pin: 7F102137)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/span>today, to get all the latest news.<\/p>\n Catch-up on more local news with our sister newspapers\u00a0<\/span>Bedfordview Edenvale News<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Alberton Record<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Kempton Express<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2018\/02\/07GCNGENERALEARL_00779-520x390.jpg\")
