Discover in Lille, €1 the school of urban dances inspired by Africa, the Caribbean and Brazil. Founded by Fischer Jeannine, the school has existed for 3 years now. These dances retranscribe a state of mind, the gestural ones, locations of life, a certain spirit of festival, freedom, sensuality, joy and division. They borrow sometimes from the tradition, but they are firmly anchored in modernity and echo social reality. They are popular dances as one likes, in the direction where they express all the creativity and the artistic boiling which is born and opens out in the middle of the cities, in Africa (Western and Center), in the Caribbean and Brazil. They energetic, enduring, are jerked and swayed. They leave free with the creativity.
Because all the idea here is to connect with energy from the ground, to relax your body and spirit, through dance, dance with its heart, let yourself go, liberation its sensuality!

Taught dances: theurban, ndombolo, quirky cut, kuduro, Llazonto. Les Caraïbes & Brazil: soca, samba centred samba and funk. A programme!
