In this workshop, we dance to iconic ballads and explore movement tasks related to the Last Dance performance.
The performance Last Dance serves as a reminder of hope and the impermanence of everything – of the last shared dance. We will examine these themes through movement and improvisation exercises by working individually, in pairs and in groups.
This workshop is open to everyone. No prior dance experience or knowledge of specific dance styles is needed, and there are no choreographed steps to learn.
