🇪🇸Español Abajo 👇 💫 **Biodanza: Conexión auténtica a través del movimiento** 💫🫂 Have you ever experienced this? You meet someone on the dance floor, share a rhythm, a glance, a smile. You don’t even know their name, yet you feel a sense of connection and human unity. That’s Biodanza. 🔹 **What to expect?** ✔️ Connecting with others in an authentic way — this time through the body ✔️ No steps, no choreography. Two left feet are welcome! ✔️ Inspiring movement invitations that awaken your inner child and reveal hidden potentials If you’re ready to dive into the unknown and meet others in a direct, playful, and unpredictable way, this is your call! Remember: our bodies don’t lie — they simply express what is alive within us. 📍 **Where?** Centro Cultural “Portal Rojo", Quito 4231 (Almagro) 💰 **How much?** 23000$ 🙋🏼‍♀️ **Who?** Your facilitator is Valerie Kattenfeld. She was trained by the family of the founders of Biodanza and loves guiding group processes that foster human connection in safe, non-judgmental spaces — using dance as her main tool. 👟 **What to bring?** Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move easily, both standing and on the floor. Bring a bottle of water. ☕ **And afterwards?** Join us for a coffee at Diletto nearby! **FOLLOW US** **INSTAGRAM: @CULTURE.SHOCKTHERAPY / @valeriekattenfeld** [https://www.instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy/](Instagram) *** 💫 **Biodanza: Conexión auténtica a través del movimiento** 💫🫂 ¿Alguna vez viviste esta experiencia? Conocés a alguien en la pista de baile, comparten un ritmo, una mirada, una sonrisa. Ni siquiera sabés su nombre y, sin embargo, sentís una complicidad y una profunda conexión humana. Eso es Biodanza. 🔹 **¿Qué podés esperar?** ✔️ Conectar con otras personas de manera auténtica — esta vez a través del cuerpo ✔️ Sin pasos, sin coreografías. ¡Bienvenidas las personas con dos pies izquierdos! ✔️ Propuestas de movimiento inspiradoras que despiertan tu niño interior y evocan potenciales tapadas Si estás lista/o para sumergirte en lo desconocido y encontrarte con otras personas de una manera directa, lúdica e impredecible, esta es tu invitación. Recordá: el cuerpo no miente, simplemente expresa lo que está vivo en nuestro interior. 📍 **¿Dónde?** Centro Cultural “Portal Rojo", Quito 4231 (Almagro) 💰 **¿Cuánto?** 23.000$ 🙋🏼‍♀️ **¿Quién?** La facilitadora es Valerie Kattenfeld.

**Caller: Richard Ades** **Band: The McKenzies** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
