About the inYouth Dance Platform:

The inYouth Dance Platform presents a chance to step inside the world of professional dance in a supportive, inclusive, and non-competitive environment. The platform gives the opportunity to young dancers to share work, experiment, and learn through workshops, masterclasses, and discussions with local and international dance experts. Whether it’s a finished piece or a work-in-progress, this is the perfect opportunity for youths to express themselves, gain confidence, and connect with other dancers.

About the Workshop:

During this workshop, inYouth Dance Platform participants will share their work, which is performed at an informal studio sharing followed by discussions encouraging young minds to share their thoughts regarding dance and the arts. The session will be led by Dr Paula Guzzanti.
