THE BACKYARD

The Backyard

is a group of young dance artists that graduated together from the Royal Conservatory in Antwerp, Belgium in June 2018. 

is founded as a platform where they can work and learn together based on the principles of shared knowledge and mutual help.

is a collective that feels a positive closeness towards one another.

builds towards a trustworthy team-work environment.

is a collective with many different perspectives because of the different cultural and artistic backgrounds of the group.

has its main focus on performing arts, but some of the artists extend their individual research to visual and interdisciplinary arts, costume and set design.

aims to be a self-sustaining platform by using the individual skills of the artists to the benefit of the group.

Like many other artists and organizations The Backyard also feels the big impact Covid-19 has. Spread throughout Europe we cannot dance together or share our dance with you!

So we thought it was time to take some action and organize something together, The Backyard and you!

We challenge you to learn a segment from the performance It's Gonne Be Horse and share your video. Don't worry, we go step by step!

Below you find 5 short tutorials to learn the dance.

If you're up for it come and dance with us! And if you wanna be part of the aftermovie, take a video and share it with us at challenge@thebackyardcollective.be.

Post your version of the dance on Facebook or Instagram and don't forget to mention #thebackyardchallenge, and ofcourse to challenge your friends!

LET'S HAVE FUN! LET'S DANCE!!!!!
