Blackpool by Milla Virtanen and Jaakko Toivonen

Dance performance ‘Blackpool’ takes the audience on a journey to the tough world of competitive ballroom dancing and reveals the rugged everyday life to be found behind the glamour. The performance smells like self-tanning lotion and rasps like a suede sole shoe brush. Old wounds that have already healed are reopened, poked fun at and shared, uncensored, with the audience. Choreographers Milla Virtanen and Jaakko Toivonen are both former Finnish national ballroom dance champions and experiences from their ballroom dance youth and the Blackpool Dance Festival serve as inspiration for the work.

All performances start at 9.30pm.

This production is part of Brighton Fringe’s Finnish Season 2018.
