Albert Gaubier, dancer, choreographer and ballet master, was born in Poland where he also received his education. After dancing in Poland he worked in Serge Diaghilev’s famous ballet company ‘Le Ballet Russe’ in Monte Carlo where he danced leading roles in the late 1920’s.

Since its establishment in 1994 the international Tanzmesse nrw has become one of the international hubs for dance professionals from around the world. This year Danish Dance Theatre will perform with an excerpt of Rushtons piece Black Diamond. We will perform the 30th of august, 7pm, tanzhaus, main stage.

Amid green hills and vineyards that go on for miles, tall cypresses that stretch towards the sun, fragrant pine trees providing shady spots and the sound of cicadas buzzing. This is where Danish Dance Theatre’s new dancer, Lucia Pasquini, grew up as a child – in a small Tuscan hamlet.

For ages 16 and up - Intermediate to Advanced

For those who would like to dance with members of Danish Dance Theatre, Denmark's largest and most award winning modern dance company.
