Dance fans. The Netherlands is many of them. Although some are more fanatical than others. In the run-up to the premiere of 'heavy metal-ballet' Black Sabbath - The Ballet, Dansmagazine meets Mala Ramkhelawan and Willem Handels. The couple see just about everything there is to see in their 'City of Dance The Hague' - from the India Dance Festival to Nederlands Dans Theater - but Holland Dance Festival's 'ever changing'-selection have become their favorite. Mala: “Every time I think: this was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and then the next production comes along that surpasses that again.”
For Dansmagazine, Astrid van Leeuwen went into conversation with “dance fanatics” Willem and Mala. During the interview, the dance lovers talk about their love of dance and discoveries over the years.
