All of this to say …

the “fantastical” isn’t exclusively accessible through the world of film ! 

Both La BaZooKa and the Belgian group,

Alek et les japonaises, strive to introduce new audiences to joyful and uninhibited forms of dance, empowering spectators to take these choreographies home with them and make them their own long after the show is over.

“Fantastical” in nature, these dances draw inspiration from 20th century science fiction and horror films.

This is a genre where creativity flourishes, with cinematographic masterpieces and pop culture classics alike. Zombies, superheroes, mutants, and spacemen all make appearances throughout four main dances :

​

The Round Dance from Space – a choreographic, and highly abbreviated, interpretation of 2001 :

A Space Odyssey,

The Fly's Boogie – a dance of metamorphosis,

Aerobicman – a dance based on super powers,

The Skating Rink from Hell – a deadly dance.

​

An assortment of jingles and choreographic happenings’ are also added to the mix.
