Do you dance? Did you dance or are you a little dance curious?
Transit Dance & Latrobe City Council invites you to gather together and collaborate on an exciting new dance project with Melbourne choreographers Jayden Hicks and Paul Malek.
Re|Collection is a FREE interactive performance experience where you can share your stories and create movement that celebrates you and your special moments of dance. People young and old, experienced and new to dance are invited to co-create a new work that celebrates us, our memories and how we move culminating in an outdoor performance in Victory Park in January 2021. All ages and abilities welcome

Group Two: Creative Adult
This group is best for any adult that wants to dive into the project and get a good grasp on what it means to create movement. All movements will be personally catered to your ability, so whether you danced as a child, enjoy dance fitness as an adult or just like to tear up the dance floor, this is the group for you!
