Dance and Cultural Expression

Many dance forms are living heritage: passed on in families, communities and studios, changing gently with each generation.

Dancers learn to listen. Rhythmic structure, melody and instrumentation shape how a movement is phrased and felt.

We do not assume any one ethnic, religious or cultural identity for the people who take part, and we avoid presenting any culture as exotic or uniform.
