RJC Dance's work is created from a Black British Perspective, with a truly broad appeal to diverse audiences both culturally and socially. Reggae, Jazz and Contemporary dance styles influence the company's choreographic approach, which fuses social dance forms with contemporary dance today. |
The most recent touring productions have been The DANCICAL, SOMA, MEKWAE and J2RnB, with performances at the Madrid En Danza Festival in Spain, and Breakin' Walls Dance Festival in the Netherlands. After opening at the decibel xtrax showcase in Manchester, The DANCICAL toured the UK briefly in June 2005 and again in March 2007 to great critical and audience acclaim. |
