Travelling the world to explore dance in its infinite variety, this eight-part series reveals dance as a universal human activity, integral to all aspects of life.
The Power of Dance. Tonight's film concentrates on individual dancers: children in New York and young Punjabis in Birmingham; Broadway star
Gregg Burge ; ballet artists Irek Mukhamedov and Viviana Durante ; Indian classical dancer Malavika Sarukkai ; and Belgian avant-garde choreographer
Wim Vandekeybus. Together they reveal what motivates them to dance, how it concentrates their energy and gives them feelings of elation and power.
Narrated by Miranda Richardson. Director Geoff Dunlop
