Think you know nothing about contemporary dance? That you’d fall flat on your face if you had to walk across the stage? Then you’re just what we are looking for. Because in “Dancing to Connect” we’re not looking for talented dancers—what we want are daring teenagers who want to express themselves.
This year too, dance invades schoolrooms, gyms, corridors and, yes, it will sweep you off your feet, even if you think you know nothing about dance.
Because dancing is discovering how to communicate with people without using words, how to express yourself and collaborate with others and to explore new boundaries for yourself. Are you still mulling it over? If you are an adolescent, Dancing to Connect is your own festival.
Professional dancers will come to your school to share their knowledge and help you and your fellow students with ways to express yourselves through movement, and build your own choreography. All you have to do is wear your tracksuit and share your drive/high spirits and creativity. This will culminate in a performance in the main stage of the Onassis Stegi. Ten schools, five from Kozani and five from Athens, ten performances. Can you imagine the vibes?Photo: Kiki Papadopoulou
