Of course, dance is inherently political. The club has historically been a site of escapism - particularly for minorities.
Adena Asovic: Me, I started to dance to house about five years ago. I have a background in ballet, but when I started to go out in clubs, I discovered house music and the whole culture - where people just have their hands in the air and are just feeling it. To me, that is dance - it's a feeling. OK, it's a visual movement as well, but how can we show you that feeling? Can we show you the sound in our movement? What I love about this show is that we are really bringing the club culture of just being into it. We are dancing without doing power moves, without doing extraordinary flips. We are all unique - even if Olof and Karin are not professional dancers, they are still dancing, they are dancers now.
