Hola, I'm back from my dance holiday! And wow what a holiday it was! First two crazy Zouk parties in Zurich followed with a week of Mzouk intensive course in Barcelona. I feel like I'm a whole different dancer now! I would have so many stories to tell I don't even know where to start.
So, I and N Girl decided to have an explosive start for the holiday and took party passes to Swiss Zouk Festival. First I thought that it wasn't worth of all the money we spent for the flights but how wrong I was. Seriously the best parties I've been. Especially the last two hours in Saturday's party. Oh. My. God. I think I've never had that strong dance flow that I had then. Crazy crazy crazy. Theres no words to describe the feeling. Some even came to comment on my dancing afterwards. A tip for ladies: if you ever have an opportunity to dance with Kamacho, K-Yo or Dadinho, do that!
I really needed the ego boost I got from the parties in the Spiral Dancers' Mzouk course. Being there was like I never danced Zouk before. Talking about going out from my comfort zone! Then again that is the best way of learning, and I already felt the changes in my dancing when I had a practice with Big O this week back in Helsinki. It wasn't only Mzouk but everything from body control to different new concepts of dancing. We had classes on contemporary, contact impro, voguing, musicality, anatomy to mention few. I could recommend the course for anyone who wants to learn more about dancing, not even mentioning Mzouk. I feel like I realized many things about how I can use and control my body in dancing.
I think I still need to process everything that happened during the Mzouk course and go through all the pictures I took so I'll come back later with more stories from my amazing dance holiday. Before that I'll try to find some dancing to ease my coming-back-to-my-normal-life-depression. How perfect it would be if I could live like I did during the 11 days: just dancing, eating and sleeping!
