ACCLAIMED dance company, Stan Won’t Dance are offering young male dancers aged 15-20 a workshop with a difference the morning after they perform their latest work, Babel, at Poole’s Lighthouse on February 17.

Renowned for their strong, energetic, physically challenging work, Stan Won’t Dance workshops employ a mixture of movement and dance styles, from martial arts to contact, boot camp and yoga.

Members of the current youth boys dance company, Whitewash, based at Lighthouse have been invited to join the workshop to develop their own practice.

“This is a great opportunity for young men to gain an insight into the company’s creative process,” says Aurore Le Quere, Activate dance development coordinator.

“We want to see as many young male dancers take part and we also want them to see the work of Whitewash.”

Written by Patrick Neate, Babel combines explosive movement with words of mass destruction as choreographic mavericks Liam Steel and Robert Tannion create the ultimate act of dance-theatre terrorism – abrasive, anarchic, honest and uncompromising.
