tackle redefining femininity, questioning gender roles and traditional
relationships, and
honing the beauty within each performer.
This is no small feat and after much preparation, the dance form
Silhouesque is ready to be launched for the public – or rather, the
public is ready for Silhouesque! For information and registration, go to
