Antwerp boasts a diverse and dynamic dance community. This is evident from the objects on display, but above all from the dance practices themselves. Dance is about doing. It is a living art form.

A selection of the objects on display:
- a seated Imhotep from Egypt that was chosen from the MAS collection because of the dance style ‘Tutting’, which refers to Pharaoh Tutankhamun
- a 16th-century jug depicting peasant dance scenes
- a sword (rapier) that played a central role in Opera Ballet Vlaanderen's production of Romeo & Juliet.
The eight objects on display were chosen by Denis Inghelbrecht, Yawar Mistty, De Lá Pra Cá, Serge Medard, De Wevers, Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, Nina Plantefève, and Antonia Volodina.
