Dance and erotica - the fascinating history of dance and seduction

Let’s take a journey through the common history of dance and erotica!

See the concept of beauty from a new perspective!

We’re gonna meet a few amazing dancers, learn about our ancient legacies, and

investigate the factors that make a movement or a person sexy (and what makes it

not so much).

We travel trough ages and continents to admire the colourful grace and power of

different dances, peeking into the mind of both sexes.

Exciting stories in 90 minutes, fun facts and videos from the risky experiments of

the past to the new trends of the present, with the help of local dance artists.

This full evening “one man show” of Jani Lakatos was created as one of the

episodes for the series “Dance and..” in cooperation with the National dance

Theatre of Hungary.

The other episodes are:

Dance and.. Creativity

Dance and.. Technology

Dance and.. Health

The show debuted with great success in 2015 and was running sold out in the last

10 years.

The easy and radiant style of the presenter with the educational but entertaining

content make this 90 minute presentation an exciting INFO-tainment experience

to the audience.

The material combines art history with scientific studies of anthropology,

sociology and psychology in a light hearted easy to consume manner.

For the purpose of deeper engagement with the community, we invite 2-3 different

local dance artists/groups for each event, to illustrate certain segments of the

storyline performing live on stage.
