Looking for something exciting this summer?
Move, connect, and immerse yourself in the warm and colourful world of choreographer Poernima Gobardhan.
For this special summer edition of Good [old] Times, Holland Dance Festival presents a unique and inspiring dance course for people aged 55 and over. For many years, this series has proven that you are never too old to dance. Dance connects, moves and tells stories — without the need for words. It also contributes to relaxation and the release of so-called “happiness hormones”.
This summer, we introduce something new: an inspiring introduction to the movement language of Poernima Gobardhan.
Meet the choreographer
The workshops are led by Poernima Gobardhan, a leading choreographer, dancer, teacher and founder of the Poernima Dance Company. In her work, dance becomes a universal language — a way to share human experiences and create connection. With her warm and accessible approach, she guides participants step by step into a world where expression, rhythm and experience come together.
There are two workshops, each with its own level.
Basic
Have you always wanted to discover a new dance style? This is your moment.
In a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, you will be introduced to the foundations of Poernima’s movement language. Step by step, you will work towards a short and expressive dance combination — entirely at your own pace.
Plus
Do you already have some dance experience and feel ready for more depth?
Discover refinement, musicality and expressive power. Together, we will work on a short choreography, with space for experience, creativity and enjoyment.
Throughout the workshops, Poernima shares her movement language inspired by Bharata Natyam. With a warm and personal approach, she guides you through this rich dance tradition, where rhythm, expression and storytelling come together.
Let yourself be transported to another world this summer.
