In Rio de Janeiro, Lia Rodrigues chose to base her company in Maré, one of the city’s largest favelas. She opened up an arts centre there and two dance schools called Núcleo (“nucleus”). Her company runs free dance classes (in classical ballet, hip-hop, contemporary dance and ballroom) to get people from the neighbourhood involved in her artistic project. For the presentation of Fúria, the company’s dancers are offering a dance workshop that is open to everyone, amateurs and professionals alike. You don’t have to attend on both days: each session is open to everyone!
