Project Description
Folk Dance Remixed brings together dance and music from folk traditions from England and around the world and blends them with contemporary street dance styles and hip-hop beats to create a unique, inclusive, high energy fusion especially for outdoor settings. The company’s threefold offering is:
Step Hop House a thirty minute performance for six dancers and three musicians around a 12′ Maypole;
Street Dance the Maypole workshops for adult and child participants of all ages around the Maypole;
Ceilidh Jam a social dance which gets the crowd on its feet and dancing a unique funked-up folk ceilidh to a foot-stomping, beat boxing, big live music sound.
