Afro Dance as the Key is a movement research workshop/laboratory based on African dance, with the following main objectives:
-to release tension in your body, making it ready for dance and well-being
-to lengthen the spine and cultivate organic integrity
– reconnecting with organic possibilities of movement, both through its architecture and in relation to the external space: grounding, letting go of weight, using momentum, listening
– playing with rhythm to train this listening
– uniting body and mind, so that awareness is present!
– cultivating listening = Presence
✨All this through play and enjoyment!✨
It’s not about performing specific steps or ‘doing it right or wrong’, but about experiencing this organic wisdom – and for me, Afro dances embody this mastery!

Organizer
Dancer, performer and teacher based in Tarifa, Cádiz.
She likes to draw inspiration from many sources (traditional West African and modern dance, folklore, Argentine tango, improvisation in movement, as well as different methods of working on movement with the aim of uniting body and mind).
She is passionate about experimentation and research, focusing on the body (the visible aspect of the invisible, the wisest and purest thing).
She is convinced that dance is an urgent necessity, as an organic manifestation of everything that happens through us, where reason cannot reach.
It is medicine, both physically and holistically.
