The dance company blends traditional Basque dance with contemporary dance, creating a unique, and new form of expression. While traditional Basque dances only require footwork, contemporary dance is normally based on multiple body movements, requiring ingenious and inventive choreography. Come learn some basic dances with the Aukeran Dance troupe!
