This is a library of dances.

This is a library of dances, that was made to make dance available to the elderly. The project started from an idea to make a collection of exercises that could be done by anyone. Dances that could be either imagined or danced around a room.

The exercises are in Finnish. They approach dance as a movement of the ribcage, poetry, breathing - a way of moving your gaze around the room

They are a part of a project called Tanssikaveri between Janina Rajakangas, Helsinki City and Zodiak Centre for New Dance.
