From the streets to the arena.
In the spring of 2010, having decided to part ways after thirteen years, the renowned Stockholm based urban dance collective Bounce did so with a grand finale. The performance, held at Stockholm’s Globen Arena, featured nostalgic nods to the past as well as new elements. Bounce invited nearly three hundred dancers from various backgrounds, including the Cullberg Ballet, to participate in five sold out performances. The event was a celebration of the group’s illustrious careers, as well as the various dance styles, expressions, ideas and heritages they called home.
Among a great many other new ‘Bouncers’ were a number of dance students, the Cullberg Ballet, Harlem Hot Shots swing group, the salsa enthusiasts Caché Dance Company and the German group Spin Kings.The Cullberg Ballet performed an excerpt from Johan Inger’s Position of Elsewhere (2009).
Bounce members: David Dalmo, Joe Jobe, Filmon Michael, Fredrik Rydman, Ambra Succi, Jennie Widegren and Alvaro Aguilera
