The dance floor is full of movement ideas you haven't tried yet. Whether it's your first time or your 100th. Even when, or rather especially when, you've had a bit of a wake-up call, when you want to blame the music, the density of the people, the energy level, when things that should work or used to work don't work anymore... These are the signs that the dance floor is inviting you to try out new possibilities.
In this workshop, we'll look for, find and develop ways to be the creator of our own experience. Kamilė Pundziūtė, the founder of the dance space and the main trainer of the authentic choreographers, shares a few thoughts: "In the dance spaces we learn one very important skill for life - not to become a victim of circumstances. When I keep my eyes on the Dance Space floor, I encounter all kinds of stories of boredom, resistance, fear and 'well, really very objective' shortcomings. Most of the time we are putting the wheels in our own wheels, so it helps not to over-emphasise our discomfort and to look for a playful relationship with our circumstances. A little childlike creativity, a little courage, and we get a whole new and unique experience out of a miserable situation. And again we say: well, it's always good in Dance Spaces, but it hasn't been this good before."
This time we'll have neDJ! Lukas Neverdauskas has already carefully arranged the soundtrack for us. He is the one who always raises his hand when the question "who's first in the Dance Space?" is asked in the opening circle. Indeed, Lukas himself used to organise the "He Who Can Dance Like That" events before Dance Space and has some idea of what is happening on the dance floor: "The possibilities for me are first of all the different kinds of music - with their rhythms, their space for freedom and expression, their melodies or lack of them, their constant repetitions or just what-will-happen-now. But I have to admit that music is not the only one responsible for the possibilities; I see many more possibilities when I am in the mood to be curious, to explore, to play or have fun with someone else, or maybe the idea and impulse will just come out of the boredom, often related to music that supposedly 'doesn't carry' (at that time and for me) - in short, music has its influence, and I certainly wouldn't take it by the seat of one pants."
Come and explore those unknown, or maybe forgotten, possibilities of the dance floor and take away another unforgettable experience.

What is a Dance Space?
A space where you can enjoy your movement without any inhibitions. Safe. Comfortable. Sober. Open.
A space that you can dedicate to your body, your emotional well-being, your creative drive, meeting your peers, having the courage to look the way you feel right now, being free from the comments of your inner critic, and surrendering to the unique choreography of all of these elements.
