The Second Edition of the "We Dance" Festival, Saturday only.
After the magical success of our first gathering, we are excited to bring you the Second Edition of the "We Dance" Festival! Join us as we continue to root our community, deepen our connections, and dance with expanded love.
"We Dance Festival" brings together various dance communities that share values of connection, embodiment, and exploration. At the heart of our experience is Contact Improvisation, complemented by the enriching flavours of Gaga and Ecstatic Dance.

PRACTICES:
Contact Improvisation Jam
"In contact improvisation, you listen with your skin, and you communicate through touch, gravity, and momentum."* - Steve Paxton

Gaga People
"Gaga is about listening to our body before we tell it what to do." - Ohad Naharin

Ecstatic Dance
"In Ecstatic Dance, we honor the freedom of expression and the joy of being fully alive in the present moment."
We will have a 100% cacao stand

LOCATION:
The festival will be held at Kulturkirche Paulus, one of the most beautiful churches in Basel, featuring a stunning main hall with a new wooden floor, an additional 100m2 hall with a fishbone wooden floor, a chill-out area, a kitchen, and a grassy terrace.

FOOD:
Enjoy a shared buffet where everyone contributes something delicious for lunch and we offer you a bio soup for dinner. Our community space has a kitchenette for coffee, tea and food prep.

PROGRAM:
We begin the day warming up our bodies with an energizing Gaga Class. We then flow into connection practice with Contact Improvisation (CI) for beginners or an expirianced Class. After lunch break, we join an all level CI Class into Jam *With live music. A dinner break with Bio soup. We end the day with Ecstatic Dance.
