    Manifesto
    Zurich, September 2021


    It’s time to make dance honest.

    Enable every young person to have access to dance
    Enable the community to have access to dance
    Enable the disabled to have access to dance
    Enable the addicts to have access to dance
    Enable the poor to have access to dance
    Enable the lonely to have access to dance
    Enable the elderly to have access to dance
    Enable the mentally ill to have access to dance
    Enable the hospitalized to have access to dance


    Enable dance to spread love, health, wellbeing and connection.
    Enable dance to move away from elitism and difficulty.

    Let dance empower people and hear their voices.

      We all dance so easily when we are happy … But what happens when we are not?
      Can we use dance as a process of healing to let go of deep heavy feelings?
      I want that people realize the importance of your body
      Use it as a tool to express and understand yourself on a deeper level
      Cultivate your research
      Where and what is the pain in you?
      Tune into it
      Dig in it
      Feel it
      How does it resonates in your body?
      How does it makes you move?
      Dance with it
      Does it restrict you?
      If yes then how?
      If it makes you feel stuck … USE IT
      What are the limits?
      How can you respect your limits while pushing them?

      Use dance to get in a better touch with yourself
      To listen to yourself
      learn about yourself
      From yourself
      By yourself
      For yourself
      Just BE yourself
      Trust in yourself
      Express yourself
      Heal yourself

      Let your interpretation guide you towards your own potential
      Don’t be judgmental in your words but be authentic in your feelings that spread through your body
