Dance trip

Dear dancers and lovers of unusual journeys,

travels with me to a small, hidden natural paradise on the always sunny and wildly romantic Canary Island of La Gomera. Our destination is the picturesque Finca El Cabrito, which is so remote that you can only reach it by boat. There are no streets, no noise - only the rustling of the Atlantic and the chirping of the circades in the evening. The former banana plantation is located in one of the most beautiful valleys on the island and extends to a 500 meter long black beach. Even in March the water is still a pleasant 20 degrees and invites you to swim. El Cabrito is an oasis of calm - here you are very close to nature and live in the midst of flowering bushes, mango trees, palm trees and banana fields. The seemingly endless starry sky and the view of the Teide, which the glowing red sun bathes in a magical light in the morning, are almost breathtaking.

And what could be nicer to do here than to dance :)? The seminar room is right on the beach, with a magnificent view of the sea. There are also many beautiful places that invite you to dance outside. El Cabrito is an insider tip, but at the same time so enchanting that guests who have discovered this extraordinary place once come back again and again. Therefore, the finca is booked out almost all year round, especially for seminars. Fortunately - and I'm really happy about that - a small gap was found in March. So if you have the time and inclination, we could dance, swim, hike together in this little paradise, have a lot of fun, enjoy the sun, relax, look at the stars or have a glass of wine together ...

The best thing is: You can take part in this trip, regardless of whether you have just started dancing or have already had years of dance training. I teach according to a holistic concept that allows me to pick you up from where you are dancing.

Dance class - in the face of the goddess
Oriental Fusion & Afro-Haitian

The dance course is t inspired by the rhythms and forms of nature that we encounter in different ways every day on the finca. In addition, we dedicate ourselves every day to the archetype of a charismatic goddess and dance with the images that emerge from it. Mythological stories, among other things, form the basis
for various improvisation exercises that we too
connect short sequences. At the beginning there is a warm-up that relaxes the body and senses with various elements from body work and yoga, which brings you more and more into flow and in contact with your core. We play with images, breath, the unexpected and enter into a dance-like dialogue with nature.

Look forward to creative and holistic training that gives you the space to learn at your own pace. You will learn more about rhythm, flow of movement, improvisation and the dance implementation of music. As part of the oriental part, you will also learn elements of my fusion technique, which we develop into dance sequences and interweave poetically with content. This gives you a special expressiveness.

Afro-Haitian dance

During the Afro-Haitian training I would like to invite you to immerse yourself in the colorful, fascinating and magical world of this dance form - in the context of its archaic symbolism and fascinating goddesses, which have amazing parallels to Greek mythology. The dance figures are powerful - full of joie de vivre and expressiveness - and La Gomera is the ideal place to experience them in a healing way in all their originality. If there is a sufficient number of participants, I invite my colleagues back to provide the background music Claude Saturne a - a true exceptional musician on the Haitian-French music scene. During the last dance trip it played itself directly into the hearts of all participants.

We will not only dance in our beautiful seminar room, but also on wonderfully beautiful dance floors that nature has created ...

Prerequisite for participation

You are invited to take part if you feel like exploring the topic of dance in depth, in a unique environment and in community with other women 🙂 The workshop is designed in such a way that every participant is picked up where she is dancing. And of course you can also take breaks or learn at your own pace.
