The power of dance

Planeet Mars

Six women dancing on a warmly lit stage. They wear feminine red and black clothing and are moving delicately Capture from the film showing a woman in red gesticulating with her arm and head. The caption reads: "I can't think of any reason why we shouldn't do this"

Dutch spoken film by Katrin Ploegaerts about the 50+ women in the dance classes of Koen D’Hous at dance school Planeet Mars in Ghent (Belgium). The women dance in the film and tell about their experiences with feeling sensual (again) in a society where women of that age are no longer supposed to feel that way. Yet they find in dancing a source of sensuality, power and strength. Subtitles available in Dutch or English.
