About Momentum Dance
Momentum Dance Perth is a company for mature-aged dancers. We commission contemporary dance choreographers who create original works, exploring the subtleties and nuances of working with older bodies, breathing in new life, inspiring us and in turn being inspired by us.
​
Defying the stereotype that innovative dance is solely the domain of the young, we celebrate and empower older-than-usual dancers, offering opportunities to explore new dance, evolve and perform.

Life-long Dancers
Our dancers revel in the joy of dancing at any age, embracing the endless possibilities that dance offers throughout life, performing new dance works for the public and encouraging audiences to celebrate the work of older dancers.
Along the way we create a vision for the younger generation, moving them to look beyond the boundaries of youth and imagine themselves as life-long dancers.
Our Creative Works
Our creative works embrace artistry that transcends age, using contemporary choreography to challenge perceptions that dancers should retire before the age of 40.
Older bodies contain history & tell-tale signs of lives lived, muscle memories of movement learned decades ago, soft tissue and skeletal injuries acquired over time, of children carried, of joints replaced, of gardens dug, of decades at a desk and of journeys made.
