For starters, you could try a taster class in K-Pop dancing!
If you (or someone you know) is all about the kinds of moves used by the likes of BTS, Blackpink, New Jeans and other acts we've had top Google, then this Friday's class is for you. Or them.

'RUINS' by FUBUNATION is a powerful and moving piece of #dance#theatre, that breaks apart the myth of masculinity and explores a more honest & complex representation of black male identity. Part of @_DanceReading's double bill, this Sunday 19 Nov.

'40/40' by @KatherinaRadeva is an autobiographical physical theatre piece in which she reclaims the dancefloor as a space for joy and celebration rather than fear and bodyshaming. Here 25 Nov, you'll leave wanting to start a dance revolution of your own!
