Bohemia Dance Productions takes the audience through several influential dance genres including Ballet, Jazz, Street and Modern. Each style is introduced with a brief overview of its historical and cultural roots and then showcased by our dynamic dancers. Throughout the presentation we stress the multifaceted nature of dance and the many ways in which it connects us to ourselves and to the world around us. From Ballet to B-Boy appeals to a wide range of ages and provides many answers for the inquisitive minds of students with the help of humour and hands-on experiences(if permitted). We end our performance with a short dance routine taught to students by our street dance crew.
"Bohemia Dance productions provides a wide variety of artistic options for students to inspire their dreams for the future". Karina Young, Principal, Ecole Pauline Haarer
