Tel Aviv Dance Festival at Soho House
Niv Sheinfeld and Oren Laor
Disco, Baby!
Soho HouseThe Work
70s disco music spins the atmosphere in “Disco, Baby!”, which combines a performance with a Bal Moderne style group dance party. Bal Moderne is a form of group dancing designed for people with no professional background in dance who simply love to move. The principle is simple: professional dancers and choreographers teach the audience short movement sequences lasting no longer than three minutes, and everyone dances together. Combined with the performative acts of our dancers and us, it’s an exciting and lively event suitable for all ages and genders. So, dust off your glittery outfits, put them on, and come groove with us!
