Prepare for a small-group retreat for dancers who want to deepen their dance skills. 6 nights, 5 full days of sessions. Long training days, fresh air exercises, retreat setting, group outings, good times with great people.
The program goes beyond steps and sequences, diving deep into mind-body training. We’ll explore partner dynamics, creative improvisation, and musical interpretation.
You will develop:
❇️ Heightened body awareness
❇️ Refined physical mechanics for movement efficiency and injury prevention
❇️ Energy balancing for sustainable dance and wellness
❇️ Tools for deepening connection, musicality, and creative choices in Fusion, Blues, and other requested partner dances

We’d love to have you there!

Immersion takes place at Eden Studios, the former location of the legendary Blues & Jazz Club Garbaty's. Today Eden is an artist-in-residence facility with guest rooms, which gives a truly retreat atmosphere.

~~~Message from Brenda~~~
I've been organizing dance retreats and festivals since 2001, in Europe since 2007, and in Berlin since 2012. I want to thank all of the hosts, organizers, musicians, sound professionals, teaching partners, DJs, and attendees who have participated in my retreats, weekend events, online courses, and private training. These experiences have been, and continue to be, the passion and joy of my life.
