Save the last dance for me
Alessandro Sciarroni
In 2024, Dance Reflections
by Van Cleef & Arpels is presenting Save the Last dance for Me by Alessandro Sciarroni as part of the Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival in Japan.
Save the Last Dance for Me is a creation by Alessandro Sciarroni that explores Polka Chinata, an Italian folk dance.
With origins in the early 1900s, it is a courtship dance typically performed by men, who embrace and whirl while bending their knees to the floor. Sciarroni created a duet performance and a series of transmission workshops to promote and revive this once-popular tradition, nowadays in danger of extinction.
