How do you dance for the transition from one life phase to another? How can a dance ritual contribute to celebrating change? For his choreography, Vandevelde primarily focuses on hip movements. The hips are not only associated with birth but also with seduction and the creation of new life. As Vandevelde puts it: “Transitional dance is a celebration of life’s potential, and above all, the potential for change within life.”

Transitional Dance is danced monthly at sunset, on a public square in Bruges. People are welcome to come and watch or join the dance.
