Bringing their brave bodies to the stage, the young dancers illuminate emotions - how and why we feel them, why we need them and how they can affect and shape us - as understood by in their own experiences.

Through live performance and on screen, ALICE CAN DANCE is a celebration of our future artists, thinkers, change makers and world savers - the kids of Mparntwe - and it is not to be missed.
