Whether you’ve never danced before or just want to refresh the basics, this class is designed to be open, fun, and completely beginner-friendly. *** ### 🕖 Schedule **20:00 – Doors Open** Arrive, grab a drink, meet other dancers, and get ready for the class. **20:15 – Bachata I Class** We start with Bachata fundamentals, perfect for anyone who has never danced Bachata before, focusing on simple steps, partner work, and building confidence on the dance floor.

Growing up in a family that loved to travel and explore music, art, and culture from around the world shaped a huge part of who I am today. That passion led me to study World Arts and Cultures at Santa Monica College and UCLA, with a focus on ethnomusicology and global movement traditions. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to dance in films, TV shows, arenas, and music videos for artists such as CNCO, Pee Wee, Jon Z, Eladdio, YBN Nahmir, Happy Singh, and Midnight Sister. I was also featured dancing flamenco in *Little Fockers*, the third film in the *Meet the Parents* series. As a teacher, I’ve taught at studios across Los Angeles, including SoHo Dance and Liz Lira Dance Academy, where I spent seven years teaching under my mentor in Culver City. In 2023, I moved to Barcelona to follow my deep love for Bachata Sensual and continue growing as an artist, performer, and teacher. I’ve taught and performed at the Vancouver Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba Festival, as well as the Los Angeles Hustle Congress, where I taught and performed Latin Burlesque. I also had the unforgettable experience of performing for more than 50,000 people with the band Quitapenas at the Los Angeles Afro Latino Dance Festival in Grand Park, DTLA. In 2021, I created my own heels troupe, **Les Femmes Fatales**, performing my choreography across Los Angeles at venues such as The Granada, The Victorian, Townhouse, The Del Monte Speakeasy, The Warehouse, and more. @devonkatrina ### What to expect You can come alone, many people do, and you’ll always find someone to dance with. Of course, bringing a friend makes it even more fun. The classes are **free**, and at the end of the session there will be the option to **donate to the teacher** if you enjoyed the class and would like to support their work. We also encourage everyone to support the venue by grabbing a drink and enjoying the atmosphere. Come for the class, stay for the social, and leave with new moves and new connections

Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

Mi pasión por el básquet no se detuvo aquí, así que después de 8 años como jugador federado, quise ver el básquet desde otro prisma. Este, me llevo a trabajar de forma autónoma como arbitro en la Federación Catalana por mas de 4 años sobre las distintas regiones de Catalunya. Ahora, como profesional de la salud y el deporte con mas de 13 años de experiencia en el sector y tras mi regreso a Barcelona después de estudiar un postgrado de entrenamiento de alto rendimiento, crear esta escuela de básquet junto Alexis, es uno de los proyectos mas emocionante que he tengo en mi ciudad natal.

## **Details** **LUMA REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND:** https://luma.com/wox7xulo 🚀 Hiring is changing. Are you? For years, recruitment has been built around CVs, job titles and years of experience. But let’s be honest: the best talent is not always the one with the “perfect” background on paper. That’s why the next Talented People session by Talent-R is all about: **HR & Recruitment: Skills-Based Hiring in Practice: How to Hire for Capability, Not Just CVs** We’ll dive into how companies can identify real potential, assess capabilities and build hiring processes that go beyond traditional filters. Because great hiring is not about collecting impressive CVs. It’s about finding people who can actually do, grow and make an impact. Expect honest conversations, practical insights and real experiences from people who live recruitment from the inside. And, of course, great food, drinks and the Talent-R vibe. 🧡 **⚠️ Your spot is only confirmed once you register on Luma.** 👉 Register on Luma: https://luma.com/wox7xulo 🎯 Details 📆 Thursday, June 11, 2026 18:30-21:00 📍 Talent-R office *Rambla de Catalunya 35, Principal 2, 08007 Barcelona* 📝 Speakers \- Roxana Suciu\, *Talent Acquisition Lead at Cafler* \- André dos Santos\, *Global Talent Sourcer at Recare* \- Nadia Pavlović\, *Founder of Compass & Quantum* 📌 Join us and connect with HR, recruitment and talent professionals who are rethinking what great hiring really means. **Spots are limited!** your attendance is only confirmed once you register through Luma. 👉 Register on Luma: https://luma.com/wox7xulo 🟩[Website](http://www.talent-r.com/) 🟦[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/talent-r/?viewAsMember=true) 🟥[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/talentr_recruitment/)

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
