#MASmoves: More than Pop

Discover the deep roots of popular dance styles: from expressive Bollywood dance, seductive burlesque and pole dancing, to sleek K-pop moves and glamorous high heels. We will also take you on a journey through elegant Renaissance dance, a visual spectacle from court life in days gone by.

These dances, often associated with pop culture, have their origins in rich traditions, powerful stories, and underground cultures. An evening full of movement and meaning; beyond the screen, straight to the source.
