For many, dance is entertainment and for some, dance is a pathway to fitness. However, for the truly dedicated, dance is a form of meditation and self-expression.
For those who think dance is the best form of self-expression, Dubai-based dance company The Ripple Effect is inviting talented dancers to put on their dancing shoes and give a shot to compete at the one of the biggest international dance festivals - Short+Sweet.
Initiated in Sydney, Australia, the 12-year-old Short and Sweet Festival has travelled to over eight countries and 32 cities, branching out into diverse artistic platforms like theatre, dance, music and cabaret, to name a few.
After the four-year success of Short and Sweet Theatre in the UAE, this festival now brings its dance format to the UAE.
The competition is being bought to Dubai by Dance Theatre Company 'The Ripple Effect', spearheaded by Joshua Johnson and Aishwarya Shivkumar. "Participants will have to prepare a routine of not more than 10 minutes to compete. However, they would need to go through an audition round by putting up a two-minute piece," said Shivkumar. Auditions for the competition will be held on April 19 at DUCTAC, Mall of the Emirates; April 22, at The Hive in Bur Dubai; and April 23 at thejamjar in Al Quoz.
"The semifinals of the competition will be held on May 13 at the DUCTAC and the finals will be held on May 19, also at the DUCTAC theatre," added Johnson.
"There is no shortage of creative talent in Dubai and there is a slow growth of theatre dance performers as well," added Shivkumar. They stated that there is high expectation from the competition since the quality of theatre dance in the city has grown incredibly in the last couple of years.
