In Transylvania music accompanies most of the rituals of life and death. In this enigmatic dance film based on the choreography of Kate Flatt, the Hungarian band Muzsikás provide the music and are part of the action around a dozen characters from young to old. Although the music is traditional, the dance is contemporary and draws on many styles and traditions from round the world. Filmed in an eerie underground location, The Dancing Room is a powerful and memorable piece specially-worked for the camera. Produced by the BBC, directed by Simon Broughton, executive producer Bob Lockyer. Recorded in London 1995, 45 minutes
