Mini dance festival PŪGA | home event
As 2020—a year that has presented us with countless challenges—draws to a close, we invite you not to rush to put it behind you without reflecting on the abundance of moments created through movement this year—both virtually and in the very real world!
Program:
December 28, 7:00–8:30 p.m.
Dance class for all Lithuanians around the world | gLowbal Air
gLowbal Air is a virtual gathering of dance, movement, and improvisation, where, on the one hand, we will each personally journey through your bodies located in different corners of the world, and on the other hand, we will get to know other Lithuanians around the world and their dancing personalities.
Low Air invites you to join a dance class broadcast from Lithuania to all Lithuanians around the world. Lithuanian dancers—choreographers, dancers, and dance teachers from the Low Air Vilnius City Dance Theater—will serve as your guides on this journey through the world of the body.

– we’ll share the emotions and feelings that flooded our dance classes when they moved online—we’ll hear interviews with community dancers and chat live;
