The press release describes this as "breakdancing bedtime stories for kids", but it's much more than that. Breakdancing it certainly is, but there's also clowning and physical theatre, and it isn't just for kids: the adults in the audience enjoyed it just as much as the children.
It's great fun, and, for those of us who (like me until now) only know the genre as street dance, a total revelation. We watch the B-Boys' dreams unfold as we marvel at the sheer physicality of their dance. There's a lot of laughter and a few scary moments; there are solos and all possible group combinations of dance; there's a pretty eclectic range of music; and, above all, the piece has been cleverly worked out and choreographed.
Like the rest of the Dance Base Dance All Sorts programme, it only runs until 20th August, so anyone with an interest in dance - and, in particular, anyone with kids who enjoy street dance, should get down to the Grassmarket asap!
