about the production
Loved Up is a unique mix of dancehall, popping and house dance blending with stunning aerial techniques. Three quirky characters meet in a park and find themselves tangled in each other passions and fantasies. The dancers literally bounce off the stage as theatre, hip hop and aerial choreography seamlessly merge together to create this witty and exhilarating show. (We can do up to two shows/day)
