WORKSHOP

Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels and L'Alliance New York present Workshop with the Dancers of Save the Last Dance for Me.

Following Sunday’s performance of Save the Last Dance for Me, dancers Gianmaria Borzillo and Giovanfrancesco Giannini will host a workshop to teach Polka Chinata to the public. Borzillo says: “The workshop is for every kind of body, every age. The dance is difficult. It took us six months to learn. Mastering it isn’t the goal of the workshop.” “The goal is to the save the dance — maybe not from extinction, but from memory loss. A folk dance survives as long as someone has a memory of it. People who come to the workshop may not be able to dance it completely, but they will know what it is, and that’s how it survives.”
