You Don’t Think You Can Dance? | For 50+, 60+, 70+ or beyond
Free Workshop for Seniors


This workshop encourages seniors, elders, aunties, uncles, grandmas and grandpas to come along with your youngsters, as long as the ages together add up to 50+, 60+, 70+ and more!! (e.g. a 30 year old daughter/son with their parents/relatives/friends).

In Butoh, it’s OK not to be able to step 1,2,3 and skip and jump!

Your breathing is your dance, your hiccup is your dance and even changing the light bulb can become your beautiful dancing routine! A dance can begin from where you are sitting on a chair, or lying down in bed….

We take our inspiration from one of the founders of Butoh, Kazuo Ohno who started dancing in his 40's and continued dancing until 101.

This free workshop invites all ages of participants to join in. Together we can challenge our notion of ‘what is dance’ and have fun discovering and embracing odd moments of true dance!
