Alessandro Sciarroni: Save the Last Dance for Me

Time: 1 – 1:30 pm 

Admission: Free

Save the Last Dance for Me is a creation by Alessandro Sciarroni that explores the Polka Chinata, an Italian folk dance.

Dating back to the early 20th century, it is a courtship dance typically performed by men, who embrace and spin while bending their knees to the ground. Sciarroni created a duet performance and a series of transmission workshops to promote and revive this tradition, which was once very popular but is now in danger of extinction. This presentation is supported by Dance Reflection by Van Cleef & Arpels.
