Group Dance (S02E01)

All choreographed genres, from scenic dance to folkloric and tribal dance, feature group dance, whether the group is made up of three or thirty dancers. From the Farandole to the chorus line, from dancing in a ring to mass-anarchy, from the rigours of the ballets corps to the flamboyance of Bollywood, all group dance enjoys a highly communicative, communal energy. Dancing together, sharing music and space, as one or disjointedly, in unison or out of harmony, putting on a show and demonstrating strength: these are some of the many challenges group dancing raises.
