In January 2022, Holly Gruver launched WGRUV Dance International, South Africa’s newest contemporary ballet company. With Lex Gruver as Assistant Director and teacher, and ballet master, Ken Yeatman overseeing ballet training, WGRUV maintains a strong and steady foundation in classical training.

Positive Energy & Artistic Expression

The company quickly adopted a philosophy focused on integrity, positive energy, rigorous training, and a strong work ethic, creating an uplifting and progressive environment. Holly and her team are committed to preserving the classical art form of dance, blending it seamlessly with modern narratives through unique storytelling.

Supported by a diverse advisory board, access to international choreographers, and the generous backing of private sponsors, Holly has collaborated with local South Africans to forge a world-class dance company poised to reshape the dance landscape in South Africa with a vibrant mix of styles.
