Dance and Movement

This is a **shuffle**/**cutting shapes** class for beginner and intermediate shufflers where we'll focus on combos. **Beginner shufflers** will get the chance to learn some basic steps and practice them stress-free in short combinations. **Intermediate shufflers** will learn to vary these basic steps with additional leg and arm movements, learn to combine them in new ways, keep practicing their foundations, and try to integrate the new combos into their freestyle. If you're a complete beginner and wanna try some basic moves by yourself before the class, you can watch this video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xOAJA598uk But you don't have to - don't worry and come just by! **What you need to bring with you:** **Shoes**: If you'd prefer not to shuffle in socks, please bring a pair of dedicated clean athletic shoes with white soles. **Water**: because Shuffling is like an intense cardio workout :) **Fee**: 10€ (in cash or paypal after the event) to cover the cost of the rent, because we're not doing it for profit. Teacher: Ina P.S. You're welcome to join our Telegram group where we share choreos, combos, music, etc. https://t.me/joinchat/73TM5UceauA5YmQy

This nourishing 60-minute session blends a gentle, feel-good yoga flow with immersive sound healing to help you move, breathe, and soften back into yourself. We begin with a slow, intuitive flow designed to release tension, awaken the body, and create a sense of ease and fluidity. Movements are accessible and adaptable, focusing on grounding, opening the heart, and reconnecting to natural rhythm rather than pushing or striving. Breath awareness guides each transition, allowing the practice to feel both energizing and calming. As the body settles, the session gradually transitions into a deeply restful sound journey. Using instruments such as singing bowls, chimes and voice gently wash through the nervous system, supporting relaxation, emotional release, and creative flow. You're invited to rest, receive, and simply be. This class is ideal if you're seeking: * A gentle yet uplifting movement practice * Stress relief and nervous system reset * A sense of grounding, creativity, and embodied calm * A mindful experience that blends movement, sound, and presence No prior yoga or sound healing experience is needed. Come as you are - curious, tired, inspired, or simply in need of a pause. ✨ Move. Feel. Rest. Reset. ✨ Bring your own mat or use one of ours.

After a packed Berlin show last November, this hour is back for one special night — before heading out to other German cities. 🗣️ *Performed in Hindi / Hinglish.* **About the show** A rib-tickling and very Desi comedy journey from Delhi to Berlin — navigating culture shocks, job hunts, dating disasters, getting diagnosed with ADHD, dealing with indian parents and political absurdities sprinkled along the way. Expect **smart satires, dark-ish truths, and some delightful honesty** about life between two worlds. The night wraps up with a **Bollywood jam session**, where the audience joins in for a sing-along — turning the show into a complete Desi evening. **About the comic** Ayush started performing stand-up in 2019 and, since 2022, has been running Berlin’s only Hindi comedy line-up show, **Desi Democracy**, which has toured to Munich and Erlangen with sold-out performances. After opening for **Atul Khatri, Karunesh Talwar, and Gaurav Gupta**, he’s now back home in Berlin with his first full-length solo special. 🎥 Check out clips on Instagram: https://in[Instagram.com/ayushkulofficial](https://instagram.com/ayushkulofficial) 🗓 **Sunday, 25 January** **⏰ 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM** (Doors open at 6:30 PM) 📍 **Valentin Stüberl, Donaustraße 112, Berlin – Neukölln** 🍻 **Please support the bar – cash only!** Come for the jokes, stay for the music, and leave with your face hurting from laughter.

Erlebe einen Workshop, in dem Zirkuskunst und Fotografie auf neue Weise zusammenfinden: In einem vollständig abdunkelbaren Tanzstudio schaffen wir die ideale Umgebung, um die Magie von Lichtmalerei mit der Dynamik von verschiedenen Zirkusdisziplinen zu verbinden. Zu Beginn erhältst du eine Einführung in die Grundlagen der Langzeitbelichtung. Perfekt für alle, die bisher wenig oder keine Erfahrung damit haben. Schritt für Schritt steigern wir den Anspruch: Von ersten Experimenten mit Licht und Bewegung bis hin zu gemeinsamen Bildideen, in denen Artist:innen und das Requisit Licht kreativ miteinander verschmelzen. Dieser Workshop lädt dazu ein, Neues auszuprobieren, Techniken zu verfeinern und Bilder zu schaffen, die weit über klassische Zirkus- oder Fotomomente hinausgehen. Was dich erwartet: Bei diesem Workshop habt ihr die Gelegenheit, das Gelernte direkt auszuprobieren, Fotos zu machen und Feedback zu bekommen. Inhalte, auf die wir uns konzentrieren, sind: * Grundlagen und Feinheiten verschiedener Zirkusdisziplinen – verständlich erklärt und aus fotografischer Perspektive gedacht * Akrobatik, Jonglage oder Tricks auf dem Einrad? Wie bei einer echten Zirkus-Show bekommst du hier das volle Programm * Lichtmalerei mal anders: Ob Keulen, Bälle, Lichtstäbe oder Poi - die Bewegungen und Lichtprogramme eröffnen ganz neue kreative Möglichkeiten, die es gemeinsam zu entdecken gilt. Was sonst noch wichtig ist: * Dauer: 3 Stunden * Ort: Ufer Studios Berlin, Uferstraße 23, 13357 Berlin * Treffpunkt: Wir treffen uns pünktlich am Eingangstor * Datum und Uhrzeit: Tag 24\.01\.2026 \| 11\-14 Uhr * Models: Paula + Jonas * Preis: 87,50€ * Max. Anzahl Teilnehmer:innen: 10 *Aktuell sind noch 2 Tickets verfügbar.* Was du mitbringen solltest: * Kamera + Objektiv * Optional Stativ * Eigenes Blitz-Equipment kann mitgebracht werden, ist aber nur eingeschränkt nutzbar, da wir uns gegenseitig nicht beeinträchtigen wollen. Zum Ende hin planen wir einen Zeitraum, in dem sich abwechselnd mit Blitz-Techniken ausprobiert werden kann (interessant für Sync-Modi wie Front/Rear Curtain o.Ä. Funktionen). Die Vermittlung von Blitzfotografie ist kein Teil des Workshops. Ideal für Fotograf:innen mit Interesse an Bewegung, Show und Kunst. Vorkenntnisse sind kein Muss. Auf dem Tanzboden dürfen keine Straßenschuhe getragen werden.

Cacao Ceremony, Meditation & Free Flow Ecstatic Dance — connect, unwind & move freely into your full expression Our hearts are dancing again. We invite you to an evening of connection, presence, and embodied movement. A gentle ceremonial space to arrive, to feel, and to let go — supported by ceremonial cacao, meditation, and free flow ecstatic dance. The dance is free and intuitive. An invitation to follow your body and the flow of the music, in your own way and at your own pace. After the dance, we gather for a soft closing with tea and small snacks — a moment to land, connect, and share the space together. This is a sober event. ### **What this space offers** * A heart-opening cacao ceremony * A guided meditation to arrive and ground * A free flow ecstatic dance journey * A conscious, sober, and judgment-free space * Connection, stillness, and community * A gentle community chillout with tea and small snacks after the dance No dance experience is needed. You are welcome exactly as you are. ### **About Shania Shamanica & the space** Shania Shamanica creates and holds ceremonial spaces rooted in embodiment, presence, and connection, together with her partner. Their work is guided by a shared love for ritual, conscious movement, and the simple truth of being fully human. Through ceremonies, music, workshops, and creative expression, they invite people to move, feel, and express themselves freely — without expectation or judgment. Inspired by many travels and encounters with different cultures around the world, their spaces weave together diverse influences, ancient wisdom, and modern embodied practice. These inspirations are reflected in the music, the rituals, and the way the space is held — grounded, heart-led, and open. At the core of this work is the wish to create containers where people can simply be as they are, reconnect with themselves, and meet others in honesty, presence, and care. ### **Practical notes** Please bring a cup for the cacao and water for yourself, both for the ceremony and the dance. Staying well hydrated throughout the evening is important. We will also have additional water and a few cups available on site, in case you forget yours or feel the need for more. Please wear comfortable clothing that you feel good moving in. It can be nice to bring something warm and cozy for the closing. If you wish, you are welcome to bring a small snack to share for the community chillout at the end. ### **Schedule** 19:00 – Arrival 19:30 – Cacao Ceremony & Meditation 20:00 – Free Flow Ecstatic Dance 21:30 – Closing & Community Gathering Please arrive on time so we can begin together. ### **Location** **Vuesch e.V. – Flugraum** RAW-Gelände, Revaler Straße 99, 10245 Berlin (Opposite the bar “Zum schmutzigen Hobby”) At the entrance you will find Café & Bar Kult.
