We’re excited to present a weekend full of dance, rhythm, connection and flow… Join us in one of the most vibrant fusion dance communities in Southern Europe. If you come from far away, you will be able to enjoy both the dance and a wonderful tourist destination: Valencia. You will find here lots of sun, beautiful beaches, great cuisine, and a vibrant city center full of culture. You will meet other travelers exploring the city as well as many locals happy to recommend places worth visiting.
For people from the local community, it will be a great opportunity to meet fusion dancers from elsewhere and experience first-hand how the dance is interpreted elsewhere. You’ll be able to dance to the music played by DJs we don’t often have the chance to hear. This setting and occasion will make for a wonderful experience, one that will connect you to the broader fusion community.
We’ll all enjoy a unique chance to connect through dance, meet new people, and experience new things.
★Join us, and make the magic happen!★
Workshops
Sayil: The rhythmic experience of the body
Rhythm offers us an experience that enriches our body expression and our dance.
When talking about the body and a dance of connection, there are various rhythms to attend to but, above all, we are going to explore and enjoy the internal rhythm, qualities of movement and play with contrasts to create much richer dynamics to continue sharing in our dances!
Devin: Caring and Sharing
Caring and sharing are two fundamental concepts of tango. Through a caring embrace, we will explore possibilities for sharing spaces within and outside of the couple. Working with specific tango techniques and forms, we will explore possibilities for improvising in a dialogued manner in fusion dance.
Atenea: Play
In this workshop we will return to a common past: Play. The art of playing, even with an adult mind… will we be able to forget about the daily chores and the underlying “problems” of adulthood, to reconnect with that essence of play, so deeply human and necessary?
Turn your expressions of play into dance. Use that flame of childhood to dance yourself and us in a purer way and: play!
