Comments on: Old folk can’t dance… https://www.simonascotto.com/old-folk-cant-dance/ Dance Artist & Educator for over 50's Mon, 02 Jan 2017 12:10:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.8.25 By: oddbohemian https://www.simonascotto.com/old-folk-cant-dance/#comment-345 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 20:20:37 +0000 https://www.simonascotto.com/?p=537#comment-345 Thanks for posting the Piña Bausch clip, Simona. It led me to find out more about the work, and I found this review: http://www.ballet.co.uk/magazines/yr_10/may10/gw_rev_tanztheater_wuppertal_pina_bausch_0410.htm

For me, I come to class so I can dance, whether it’s ballet or contemporary. I’m not sure I want to express my life experience through dance (I was a web content producer, so should I mime typing, or PhotoShopping?) – or be told in amazement that I’m the same age as the choreographer’s grandmother! I have had both said to me, not by you, I hasten to add.

Thank you as always for your wonderful classes.

I find the contemporary dance we are doing comes close. The 5 rhythms was possible for anybody who had little experience of being fully in the body.
