This was our first time teaching in the Netherlands, at the lovely Cadansa Festival, back in 2015. Yep, 11 years ago. (But we look the same, don't you think? 😅🤭) Back then, we didn't even know that 3 months later... we would actually sell everything and move here.
But that's a story for another time.

ANYWAY, many invitations to workshops, festivals, and dance classes later, we're back to regular lessons, this time in Utrecht.

Every Monday, with a Beginner and an Intermediate group. 😀
Come join us; we promise you some surprises. If nothing else, it'll be fun evenings dancing together. Vamos!

É sempre muito especial voltar a ensinar no nosso país. 💛
Por isso, foi com muita felicidade que aceitámos o convite da Associação PédeXumbo para, no próximo fim de semana, darmos 2 oficinas de dança (rondeau en couple e diálogo para dois) no Festival Desdobra-te em Évora.
Vemo-nos por lá?

It always feels extra special to teach again in our country.
So we're super happy to have accepted Associação PédeXumbo's invitation to give 2 dance workshops at Festival Desdobra-te in the lovely town of Évora, this weekend.
See you there!

Voltar a fazer o que mais gostamos “em casa”, ao fim de tantos anos, foi muito especial.
Obrigada pelo convite e recepção calorosa Tradballs, a quem devemos muito do que somos. 🫶🏻

PS. Se houver por aí fotografias ou vídeos do workshop, enviem-nos por favor!

Doing what we love the most “at home” (Lisbon) was truly special, after so many years.
Thank you for the invite and the warm welcome Tradballs, to whom we owe much of what we are today.

PS. If you have any images or videos of the workshop, please send them over!

Another year, another great edition of Boombalfestival.
Thank you to the amazing organization for having us once more and to all the participants of our workshop for being willing to paint outside the lines of tradition. 🖌️🎨
