Netflix’s "We Speak Dance" Explores Moroccan Dance Culture in New Season

"We speak dance", the Netflix documentary series, is making a stopover in the Kingdom of Morocco. After Nigeria, Lebanon, Indonesia, Vietnam and France, it is Morocco’s turn to host the series for its second season, reports TelQuel. American dancer and humanitarian activist Vandana Hart initiated and presents this series to explore dance and its various political, cultural and social articulations around the world.

On her arrival in Morocco, her team and she have criss-crossed Chefchaouen, Casablanca, Essaouira and Marrakech, to explore contemporary dance, hip-hop and traditional Moroccan dance.

Filming began in July. The host met contemporary dancer Taoufik Izeddiou and hip-hop dancer and photographer Yassine Alaoui Ismaili, alias Yoriyas. She also met the collective of urban dancers, B-Girls, as well as gnaoua dancers.

"Morocco is a fairly complex country but I think meeting Moroccan dancers is a wonderful way to be introduced to this country. There are so many cultures that intersect and coexist in a certain harmony and it has fascinated me," enthused Vandana Hart.

The first season of the series was broadcast in 2018 on Netflix. As for the second season, of which a Moroccan episode has been completed, Vadana Hart does not communicate any release date, nor about the next stopovers.
