How to Watch Dance builds on the interest generated by the same program last year and adapts to the dates of the Museo en Danza dance cycle to work on some of its shows.

How to watch dance allows participants to acquire new tools for developing and learning new dance techniques, new movements, and freedom of bodily expression through dance.

Throughout the various sessions, the group will share their progress in understanding dance and put it into practice in relation to performances in the Museo en Danza program.

PROGRAM

The program will cover the following shows scheduled as part of Museo en Danza:

• Amor de Dios(God's Love), by the María Pagés Company
• Dalet(da) by the Daniel Abreu Company
• Swan, by Mar Aguiló
