Following the success of Dance Arias in 2010 Dublin City Council's Arts, Sports and Leisure and Community Development Sections are delighted to team up with CoisCéim Dance Theatre to present Silent Idols.
Silent Idols is a dance homage to films of the silent era, many of which remain current today, such as Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times.
Open to people aged 50+ CoisCéim's choreographers will host weekly drop-in dance classes across Dublin throughout February and March. The Classes are a relaxing way to stay in shape with easy stretch and strengthening exercises to music. Participants will learn and create dance sequences inspired by some of the madcap routines of the Marx Brothers, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.
Dance Classes will take place from the 7th of February. Price per class is €3. No experience or partners necessary! Please click here to download the poster for Silent Idols
