For dancers

My London experiences in one of my hobbies.


I am not a big fan of ballroom dancing but I am open-minded for new dance styles.
So I learned some things in Swing Dance! The music, the 40s fashion, the friendly people, all together is so much fun! It is not a serious complicated dance, just positive and funny, danced in sneakers! *thumbs up*

This was one of the basics I learned from the two guys:

Because I like contemporary ballet I decided to watch a show in Royal Opera House. I saw the fantastic show Crossing Points by Phoenix Dance Theatre with four different choreographies and stunning effects. Here you can see some excerpts of the show (until 1:32).
The music was also very well selected, two of my favourite songs:

Colour Dance was a workshop, not appendant to uni. It was not actually a dance workshop, but while dressed in one particular colour, everybody moved through the room and thought about how he/she feels with this colour. We learned about the meanings of chakra colours which was very interesting.

What I will never forget was a fascinating experiment. Whoever wanted, lied on the floor and closed his/her eyes. Then all the people lifted him/her up, moved some steps through the room and layed him/her safely down again.
