An avant garde style of dance that evolved from Modern dance but can be anything and everything. Often involved floorwork. But not always.
In the words of David Rose "It's a general store, but it's also a very specific store. It's also not just a store, it's like a place where people can come and get coffee or drinks, but it's not a coffee shop, nor is it a bar. Yeah, it's an environment. And yes, we will be selling things, but it's more like a branded immersive experience."
