House

What you get:

Betty

This class is an invitation to celebrate dance, music and community together. House Dance is rooted in a spirit of freedom, connection and shared energy and this is what we will explore. We will treat the space as a playground — a place to experiment, to listen and to connect with the music, ourselves and each other. Using foundations of House Dance, we will build a shared vocabulary and then open it up, playing with it both collectively and individually.

Alongside the freestyle and communal aspects of the culture, we will also focus on the technical foundations of House Dance — steps, grooves, footwork, combinations and musicality. Each class will have a different focus, offering new tools, concepts and ways of moving. The focus is not on perfection, but on presence, curiosity and joy.
Cyphering is also an important part of the class, creating space at the end to share, exchange energy and support one another through movement. Everyone is welcome — come as you are and let’s move together.

Farah

In diesem Workshop wird Farah Deen die grundlegenden Schritte des House Dance vermitteln, Groove-Übungen durchführen und Konzepte des Freestyles erkunden – alles mit einem Fokus auf individuelle Ausdruckskraft.

Farah hilft den Teilnehmenden, Selbstvertrauen in ihrem Körper aufzubauen und verschiedene Bewegungsübungen auszuführen, die es ihnen ermöglichen, die Balance zwischen kollektiver Energie und persönlicher Freiheit zu finden. Der Workshop fördert ein sicheres Umfeld, in dem jede*r in seinem eigenen Tempo und Stil lernen kann. Ein zentrales Konzept dieses Workshops ist das „Cyphering“ – ein freies Tanzen innerhalb eines Kreises, das den Teilnehmenden Raum für Selbstentfaltung bietet, ohne Druck oder Bewertungen.

Dieser Workshop richtet sich an Anfänger*innen und bietet die perfekte Gelegenheit, die Grundlagen des House Dance zu erlernen und gleichzeitig die kreative Freiheit des Freestyles zu entdecken.

This session delves into the foundational elements of House Dance, highlighting its deep connection to African dance roots and rhythmic expression. Participants will explore techniques that emphasize groove, flow, and freedom, discovering how movement becomes a form of storytelling and self-expression. Through an embodied practice of rhythm, we honor the lineage of House Dance while expanding our personal and collective creative voice.

Rosa (aka Sora)

In meinem House Workshop soll den Teilnehmenden vor allem die Grundlagen von House Dance näher gebracht werden. Der Groove von House („Jack“), Schritte, sowie unterschiedliche Techniken werden erarbeitet, die erlauben sollen, „tools“ dafür zu haben, frei zu tanzen und sich individuell auszudrücken. Vor allem Musik (Musikalität), das Arbeiten mit Konzepten und Übungen und auch das Gemeinsame Tanzen werden Teil der Classes sein.

House music release my spirit and my body. Learning and mastering this dance allowed me to appropriate my body and let my imagination free on the dancefloor.

In my dance class my students have the feeling and the sensation of having experienced a pleasant moment of joy through housedance.

Vivos

Dance has many forms. Whatever the style might be, I want to focus on wellbeing and becoming more free in it’s expression. Personally I found a lot of liberation, playfulness and release in Housedance, which is what I want to share about this dance.

It is about connection, about listening and letting yourself be guided by intuition. We will explore concepts, go through foundation steps, history and focus on stalking (dancing together) as a source for inspiration and connection.
