Step into ShadowDance, and take ‘dancing in the streets’ to a whole new level. Life suddenly becomes a rainbow coloured trick of the light and you can have a retro psychedelic experience (without all the hallucinations!).
Watch as powerful floodlights project your vibrant, multi-coloured silhouette to building-sized proportions. Feel the energy as your shadow mingles and interacts with others, in a kaleidescopic shadow playground fun for all ages.
Set to a lively mix of global beats, ShadowDance invites you to become the art—whether you choose to spectate, participate, or unleash your inner performer. The effects get even the most reserved of dancers cutting interesting shapes. Are you ready to dance with shadows?
