Our inspiration
MAPALE

BULLERENGUE
Dance that was born on the Colombian Caribbean coast, is characterized by being a sung dance and was originally transmitted from generation to generation, (although today western methods are applied for its learning). Traditionally it is part of the initiation to puberty, the resistance of the slaves and the celebration of their freedom, currently becoming a festive music. In addition to being a ritual dance, the midwives guided at the time of giving birth and reducing menstrual pain, a dance that begins in the womb.
CUMBIA
Dance that requires a cadence of the hip in each step. It was born in the Colombian Caribbean and later spread throughout South America with the rhythm that each country impregnated.
To conclude, the word DANCE is used in its widest expression.
The elements of our inspiration provide a wide range of tools to dance from a holistic and integrating perspective of the artistic and therapeutic.
Dance as an instrument for the transmutation and transformation of emotions, a resource for experimenting and discovering new sensations.
*Therapeutic does not mean psychological or medical therapy. We said therapeutic because it helps well-being, relaxes, guides and accompanies.
