A Place to Dance is an opening in space and time that invites us to participate in the potential of dance to transform any place into a place to commune, a place to belong.

A Place to Dance can be thought of as an act in which the audience is invited to participate by both dancing and watching others dance.

Creating a porosity between participation and observation, everything takes place in-the-round. Dancers, audience, musicians and technicians are all in the same space.

Lima and Graves develop their choreography based on a rhythmic dialogue, in which the sound of their bodies is captured live by sound engineer Quino Piñero, edited and manipulated by musician Miguel Marín, thus creating a soundtrack in constant development and mutation. DJ Oumoukala opens and closes the event, which lasts 1 hour and 45 minutes. This presence reiterates the interest of both creators in feeling the body in its collective dimension.
