Hello dance and contact lovers.

We hereby invite you to celebrate the New Year in a ritualistic way.

Imagine every thing, white and calm…

In the middle of the forest, were the silence is speechless…

No one around…

You are the first person to make footprints on the snow

and discover it’s fluffy nature – squeaky sound that you will never forget.

We will spend 4 days in the studio, in the city centre of Szczyrk and 2 days in the snowy mountains, all that in the south of Poland.

December 28th to 31st with two main workshops of:

Improvisation – Rita Vilhena

Every day there will be yoga in the morning and jams in the evening.

There will be jams in silence, as well as with live music, we will dance in the studio as well in the snow :).

square of the city centre, if they so wish.
