bassline

Summary

 

BASSline is a jazz dance piece which takes inspiration from the prominent bass line within the music, with the sounds influencing the movement choices, rhythmic timing, and shapes in the dancers’ bodies. 

This high energy work is driven by musicality and rhythm, featuring 7 incredible dancers, set to music by Walter Lang Trio, Adam Ben Ezra and Matthew Halsall.
