Join us for an intergenerational performance

5th May 2022

Alternative Energies – our intergenerational dance project – started in Autumn 2021 and has gone from strength to strength. We are delighted to invite you to join them for a short performance on Tuesday 14th June, 4:45pm at the Ramoan Centre, 3 Station Street, Ballycastle.

This project brings young people aged 16 to 18 years together with the elders of the Ballycastle area to meet, to chat over a cup of tea, move, share ideas, explore and create dance ideas together.

A young person currently involved in the project, said “The dance class is loads of fun, I’m really enjoying meeting new people and building friendships, everyone is so warm and friendly.”

At DU Dance (NI) we firmly believe that age is no barrier to dance and Dr Philip Johnson who leads the group said “There is great richness to be gained in an intergenerational dance class. It is a place of sharing between the generations that rarely happens outside the immediate family environment. The intergenerational class brings people together from all walks of life to share in the commonality of dance through: the joy of moving together, keeping the body in good health and creativity.”
