In recent years, traditional Iberian music and rhythms have evolved towards the present, and dance must be part of this process and continue alongside music in this search. Dance has always been part of folklore and tradition alongside music, and dances were a social event where people could meet their peers, share moments, and build community.
Through dance and movement, we can connect with ideas and aspects that refer us to the root of our identity. Deepening into tradition and inhabiting it is accepting the past and recognizing ourselves in it. Reconnecting with traditional music and dance will help us develop individually and collectively, forming a network where we can be ourselves.
We will start from Iberian folklore as a starting point to learn and recognize the steps and structures of traditional dance. All from a safe space to have fun playing with our present bodies.
From the jota to the muñeira, passing through the seguidillas, the pasodobles, and more; these rhythms and dances will serve as a basis to fly with them and generate our own dance to connect with each other and enjoy tradition in all its forms.
