YADA's previous highly acclaimed shows!

One of the successful show Yada Dance Company performed is Circle of Senses.

Based on the fantasies and spectacular journeys of powerful signature tunes, CIRCLE OF SENCES is a feast of dance, theatre and visual effects. The base and raw humanity uplifted to a different level. Scents, wind and other elements will constitute just a little of the many surprises in store at this awesome choreographic spectacle. This show will have a quantified and qualified ensemble of exceptional dancers.

CIRCLE OF SENCES in another YADA journey into the stimulus of colour, movement and light. It's a journey to the exotic and colorful world of India, the raw world of Africa, the freedom of love in the Western World, the hunt and the hunted in the Orient, the mystifying world of Arabia amongst other corners in this stimulation planet. The planet which needs to be protected, that needs to be heeled from all it's fear through the ultimate introduction of the Sixth Sense - the sense that lives beyond the realms of reality.




Fire Dance 
FIREDANCE is an adaptation of riverdance - the Show which is a display of Irish dancing, Spanish Flamenco and American Tap that has taken audiences by storm in Ireland, London and America.

Interpreting the music of Bill Wheelan, Firedance shows how these different styles of dance are linked through the use of rhythm and footwork. Inspired by this music, Felix Busuttil, director of the YADA Dance Company, decided to stage Firedance giving Maltese dancers the chance to perform in a dance spectacle and Maltese audience the opportunity of watching them.

Busuttil has also enlisted the additional choreographic talents of Justine Roy Barker, Francesca Abela, Alison Bird, Vivienne Fielding and Rosanna Maya. The number and variety of choregraphers ensure the different interpretations of the score although the main influences remain chiefly Irish, Spanish and Tap.Over 100 dancers had involved in the production, including the Junior School of The College of Jazz Dance. Costumes have been designed by the choreographers themselves and produced by Alex Spiteri , Martanne Muscat, Elvia Leone Ganado and Kristina.






Era 
The book has been opened. The drawing bridge has been let down and the voices cry out the passion and emotion of those past and dark says.
Spectacle is a word synonymous with the Yada Dance Company and "Era" will not fail in portraying such.
Imagine a word where mystery and beauty are only a fraction of space away - imagine a land where nights shone in armor and discussed around the wooden table - imagine a land where damsels where subject of love and the Spanish Inquisition was supreme - imagine fairies, pixies, jesters, gypsies and dark angles - a land of kings and queens - a period when Spanish was under the domain of the Moors - When King Arthur held his magical sword Excalibur, when witches cast nasty spells and others burned at the stake... lost in time... alive and human!
Era is a colorful mixture of dance , music and theatre with a cast of over 100 dancers and musicians and incorporating the haunting voice of Debbie Scerri. The show incorporates a setting of fairies, pixies, jesters, gypsies and dark angels, kings and queens where witches cast nasty spells and others are burned at the stake. 





Graffiti 
Produced by Felix Busuttil and Catherine Strawbridge, Graffiti features a cast of 25 of YADA's best in an evening of contemporary jazz dance.
Act One includes a showing of three choregraphies, Classical Graffiti, Karma and Cyber Space all created by Justin Roy Barker. Classical Graffiti expands from the grace of classical ballet to the strong and zestful movements of modern jazz ballet. Karma consists of soft and smooth contemporary styles movements that warm the soul with inner peace. Cyber Space is made up of six pieces of music all with an exact, futuristic sound; the movements are harsh, rapid, snatched and short.







Moulin Rouge 
In 1899, a young poet named Christian by the name of played by Daron Galea leaves his family's home and heads off to the Montmartre districts of Paris, where he is soon taken under the wing of the painter Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and his gang of fellow bohemians.
Recruited by the diminutive artist to work on a play starring the Moulin Rouge nightclub's main attraction, the exquisite courtesan Satine played by the beautiful Daphne Smith, Christian finds himself ringside at her show and it's love at first sight for the young writer. The feeling is mutual when Satine mistakes Christian for the Duke who promised to bankroll the show in excahnge for her formidable services.
By the time she reakises her mistake it's too late as Christian owns her heart - even the besotted Duke's dark threats can't keep herin line. Not that it realy matters, since Moulin Rouge owner Zidler is keeping a tragic secret from poor, doomed Satine.
Ah to be young, in love, and dying of consumption in Paris!
