How to avoid injuries in bourrées and spirals in jigs and cercles? How to solve waltz traffic jams? How can we free up extra space for all dancers?

Better floor management can make the dance experience a lot nicer for everybody. Most dancers have basic skills that give nice results on small or medium dance floors, but lack the advanced skills that are needed on crowded festivals. Koen Dhondt proposes interesting exercises and practical tips to share with all of you.

And if you think you have nothing to learn on this topic, well ... then you should definitely come to this workshop!

Gentle movement, grounding practices, and deep relaxation for festival-goers

Festivals can be full of joy and connection - but also physically and mentally intense. In the rush of dancing, socializing, and little sleep, we often push our bodies beyond their limits without giving ourselves space to regenerate.

This workshop offers a guided journey into rest and renewal, designed to support both body and mind. Through slow yoga, somatic bodywork, simple partner massage, and mindfulness-based relaxation meditation, you’ll be invited to release tension, reconnect with your inner rhythm, and rediscover a sense of grounded calm.

No prior experience needed - just bring yourself (and perhaps a friend to share a gentle massage with). Together, we'll create a space of care, presence, and softness.

Take this time to recharge your batteries, stretch what’s stiff, and come back to your body with kindness. Because your mind and body are not separate -they (and we) are one.

Please take your sleeping/yoga mat (if possible) with you to experience the full energy of this workshop.

Waltz is more than just steps — it’s flow, energy, and connection. In this workshop, you’ll learn useful steps, tips to spin more smoothly, how to play with dynamics, and how to add expressive figures to your dance.

Perfect for anyone who wants to deepen their waltz and dance with more freedom and creativity!
