DANCE CLUB is a collaboration between Nikhil Shah (Mixcloud, ManMakeMusic) and Mariana Marquez + Emma Zangs (Marquez&Zangs). The format is a DJ set with “guided” rather than “taught” dance instruction.

DANCE CLUB pushes the boundaries of what you typically hear in club sets whilst encouraging you to explore the way you dance and move.

DANCE CLUB takes place in spaces that lend themselves to creativity and self expression. We create an environment that is trusting and non-judgmental, allowing you to express yourself without feeling self-conscious.

SPECIAL GUESTS

We have invited 2 leading dancers and choreographers to join us for this Dance Club. Through a combination of performing, teaching and participating on the dancefloor, our guests will help you explore new dance styles, expand your movement and ultimately bridge the gap between performer and spectator.

Kwame is the artistic director, founder and choreographer of Spoken Movement UK, which he has run for the last three years. A dancer for seven years, Kwame was mentored by Jonzi D and Jonathan Burrows through Breakin’ Convention’s artist development program Back to the Lab. Kwame aims to create awareness through his work in order to challenge reality.
