DANCE DISCOVER DREAM
FALL 2022

"I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)" Choreography | Direction | Concept: Jana Bennett Video | Edit: Daniel Williams Music: Glass Animals Dancers: Members of Skunkworks Fall 2021 Performance Program ABOUT In a time where youth activities have struggled to find their groove, local Wilmette dance studio - Skunkworks Dance - puts inventive thinking at the forefront by leading the way in unique activities that inspire hope, confidence and bring JOY to their dancers and community. In their most recent endeavor, Skunkworks will premiere this mini-dance film "I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)" for Halloween on Monday, October 25. See video attached above. The Zombie-themed 1 minute and 30 seconds film was shot with 12 dancers ages 7-15 and COVID-19 safety in mind! The entire dance is one single shot, so everything had to be directed and choreographed to SCARY perfection. Inspired by "Thriller", Skunkworks' latest dance short gives you the ultimate spookiness and wicked fun all rolled into one EPIC video. This film can be performed live as well! Skunkworks Dance began its first studio season in February 2020. Skunkworks was founded on the concepts of innovation, celebrating individuality and providing the most current pre-professional dance training. As we all know what proceeds in March 2020, Skunkworks willingness to be ultra creative, pivot and work tirelessly to put dancer engagement first allowed them to create youth programming that could thrive even during the most difficult of times! Since opening, Skunkworks Dance has made over 20 professional dance films and celebrated their first live performance "BURNING DOWN the HOUSE" this past Spring.
