20.30 Bal with Temps Libres

  • TEMPS LIBRES **

Rozemarijn Duman and Martin Pion, two Belgian musicians, offer a repertoire of traditional music (all to dance) which is intimate and rhythmic, with many compositions and songs sometimes inspired by Swedish, Flemish and Auvergne repertoires.
The sweetness of their tunes, accompanied by the young and bright energy of the musicians, creates a special atmosphere where the dance flows naturally and where even the most rigid dancer will find himself floating lightly from one dance to another.

10.00 – 13.00 2nd workshop with Koen

More elements of connection and musicality + mazurka variations. Participants are required to have knowledge and be comfortable with basic frame/positions of couple dances and with the basic step/forms of Mazurka.
