Three works were presented in the inaugural performance:

2022 Undeterred
Faced with an international pandemic, lockdowns, a world in crisis from climate change, wars, rising inflation, and choreographers in far-off New Zealand and Sydney, this group of older contemporary dancers has embraced 21st century technology and remained Undeterred from their aim to bring new dance for older bodies to audiences:

- Don’t Speak Now | Daryl Brandwood
- Whispers | Evgenia Plotkin Mikhailov

Welcome to the vibrant world of Momentum Dance Perth – where the rhythm never fades, and age is just a number.
In a society that often sees dance as a fleeting passion of youth, we challenge the norm. At Momentum, we believe that the dance floor is not reserved for the young alone, the music continues long after the age of 30, 40, 60, or even 100!
Imagine a space where the joy of movement transcends age, where your body continues to tell a story, and your imagination knows no bounds. Momentum Dance Perth is a haven for those who seek to defy the conventional timeline of dance. Here, we respect mature dancers, offering opportunities to nurture and expand their movement and performance practice.
Momentum, where the dance continues, and the joy knows no limit.
