An Erasmus+ project

Keep On Dancing (KODA) is dedicated to teaching contemporary dance to people aged 50+ and the methods and considerations involved, while specifying the aims and needs of this population. In this Erasmus+ funded project, G;emma Batson, Susanne Bentley, Ailish Claffey, Defne Erdur, Kerstin Kussmaul and maRia Probst, widened the reach of dance teachers to ageing people with the aim to counteract ageism and discuss content, methodologies and critique.

In summer 2024 they have met at Artis Umbria / Italy to jointly research and teach daily evening classes to the local population, and brought the work also to ImPulsTanz Vienna International Dance Festival.

At Artis Umbria, we offered five workshops for free for participants of 50+ of age to the neighbouring communities in June 2024.

Impressions
People from Montegabbione (Italy) and the surrounding villages took part enthusiastically, which was an unusual but enriching experience for many.
