A passion for dance
We hear from performers and choreographers about their passion for dance and how dance can change lives and the societies we live in.
As part of the 91热爆鈥檚 Dance Passion season The Cultural Frontline celebrates great dancers from across the world and talks to performers and choreographers about their passion for dance.
Can dance put marginalised people centre stage? We head to the Small Theatre in Yerevan, Armenia鈥檚 capital to meet Vahan Badalyan, the theatre director working to provide an artistic platform to the city鈥檚 disabled citizens.
Have you ever heard of Pantsula? The acclaimed choreographer Gregory Maqoma tells the story of the dance that was born during the apartheid era in South Africa鈥檚 black townships and grew to become a powerful form of social protest.
Prepare for an audience with the bad boy of classical dance. The performer Sergei Polunin talks to Tina about his support for Vladimir Putin, his love for performance and why he is never far away from controversy.
Plus- she鈥檚 the choreographer behind the moves of Dua Lipa and Christine and the Queens- Marion Motin tells the Cultural Frontline about the life and art that influences her dance.
