Why Do We Dance?

In a five-part documentary series, British choreographer Akram Khan grapples with the question, 'Why do we dance?'. Omnipresent in the world, movement is a powerful tool that often transcends the spoken word. Through the exploration of different dance forms across different countries and cultures, Akram discovers the motivations that keep the world on its feet and dancing. He shows how dance not only boldly pushes boundaries and tantalises the senses but also creates intimate connections between people from all generations and cultures.
