Talitha Beaurain (16), model and dancer hailing from Mossel Bay secured herself a spot in the International Arts Showcase taking place in New York in 2013.

She participated in the South African leg of this showcase that took place at Montecasino in the north of Johannesbrug this weekend.

International talent scout Kim Myers was the guest of honour at the event. "When we drove into Johannesburg, my legs started shaking, but when I got onto that stage, I just told myself - 'I can do this!'," Talitha told the Advertiser.
