Anabella will be reading passages from her NEW book Teaching and Learning Dance Through Meaningful Gestures, show short dance videos from the ALDD repertory, and have a Q&A session.

Teaching and Learning Dance Through Meaningful Gestures is the fruition of Anabella's 35 years as a dance teacher, scholar, and pedagogue across 3 continents.
Teaching and Learning Dance Through Meaningful Gestures explores how technique is a philosophy and a theory, and how the body is an instrument for expression.
As a 200-page book containing 250 images and 50 illustrations, Teaching and Learning Dance Through Meaningful Gestures is exceptional in its scope and hopes to inspire and enlighten dancers, dance educators, and the arts community alike.

“Argentine firecracker Anabella Lenzu is passionate, communicative, and engaging. Her troupe, Anabella Lenzu/DanceDrama, explores the intersection of dance and theater, often investigating historical and social themes.”
