Showcase

Programme Synopsis An intimate dance experience around the world! This show brings you the fascinating world of dance across countries and cultures. How did Paso Doble, originally from France carry so much influence from the Spanish bullfighting? While many of us are familiar with K-pop and Korean drama, what exactly is Korean Traditional Dance? What is the connection between Korean dancing and its agriculture practice? Why do the Irish dancers only use their legs and not their arms when dancing? These dances are known for their captivating beauty and techniques. Get ready to be enticed by our professional dancers, as they perform and tell the history and culture of their dance, with demonstrations to teach you a few basic steps.
 Presented in a blended format of digital and live performances, interviews, lectures and step demonstrations, students will be actively engaged in an immersive experience of dance appreciation. 

 Optional: Post-show talk/activity and interaction with Emcee/Dancers. Dance 1: Cha Cha Cha (live) Cha Cha Cha is a lively, fun and playful dance that grew out of the Cuban Mambo and became immensely popular in the world. This is an exuberant dance that will get your heart pumping and put a smile on your face.
 Dance 2 & 3: Irish Dance (digital/blended) Made popular worldwide by internationally acclaimed shows such as Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, the Irish Dance has its root in Celtic culture back in 1200 B.C. One prominent characteristic of this dance is the unique and complicated footwork, with no or little movement in the arms and upper body. Dance 4: Paso Doble (digital/live)

 A dance from France, but inspired by the bullfighting tradition in Spain. Paso Doble is expressive and dramatic, with long sweeping steps and strong movements. The male represents the matador, boldly and proudly entering the bullfighting ring, while the female’s role morphs fluidly between the characters of a matador’s cape, a flamenco dancer and the bull.

 Dance 5: Korean Traditional Dance (digital/blended) Consists of court dance, ritual dance, mask dance and folk dance, Korean Traditional Dance is highly stylised, displaying dimensions of discipline, elegance, humour and history. Dance 6: Jive
(digital/live)

 An uninhibited variation of the jitterbug, originated in Harlem, USA, in 1927, Jive is a happy and energetic dance, with plenty of knee-lifting, bending, and rocking of the hips. The fastest of the Latin dances, jive incorporates lots of kicks, flicks and twirling.
