Puma Dance Dictionary presents a literary classic

The Puma Dance Dictionary presents a literary classic with a unique interpretation of the ʻNunnery Sceneʼ from Shakespeareʼs Hamlet.

Freestylers, Storyboard P, King Charles, Pac Man and Worm come together again with LA Choreographer - Super Dave - to encrypt each word from the iconic speech into unique dance moves.

The Puma Dance Dictionary was created last summer as a social application for teenagers to send coded messages to one another in the form of dance moves. But this latest iteration of the campaign explores the potential for dance to introduce a generation bought up on music videos to classic literature. What the 16th century playwright would make of Memphis Jookinʼ, locking, popping and turfing, is anyoneʼs guess.
