Save the last dance for me
Alessandro Sciarroni

In 2025, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels presents, in collaboration with the Seoul Performing Arts Festival, Save the Last Dance for Me by Alessandro Sciarroni as part of the Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival in Seoul.
Save the Last Dance for Me is a creation by Alessandro Sciarroni that explores Polka Chinata, an Italian folk dance.
With origins in the early 1900s, it is a courtship dance typically performed by men, who embrace and whirl while bending their knees to the floor. Sciarroni created a duet performance and a series of transmission workshops to promote and revive this once-popular tradition, nowadays in danger of extinction.
