A TRIP THAT OPENS THE HEART !


This trip will be organised as a sort of "family trip" full of beautiful surprises, improvised festivities, interesting cultural visits, encounters with local dancers and groups and the beautiful celebration in which we will have the chance to experience the dance in the way the village people do : with lots of simplicity in order to enter the circle that energizes the body and nourishes the soul ! 


For all these reasons, it is reserved to a small number of participants and people who love exploring, partying and improvising ! We promise a different, but unforgettable experience !
