Afro-Cuban Dance • Profound Formation

By Yoyo Danger & Saška Sedláková

WHY ADÉ ORÍ?

We are not creating a weekend of "a little bit of everything."

We are creating something we deeply miss in today's dance world.

Time.

Depth.

Space to truly understand.

If you already know our work, you know that we have never been interested in teaching only steps. This is exactly why Adé Orí was born.

A recurring formation, each edition dedicated to one specific aspect of Afro-Cuban culture.

Without rushing.

Without the festival feeling of "next, next, next" or learning a choreography just to film a nice reel.

Instead, we create enough space to reach the essence.

To ask questions.

To connect.

To understand.

If your heart beats the same way ours does, we will continue returning with new formations.

Because our goal is simple.

To build.

After our first intensive edition, we took time to reflect.

We listened carefully to your feedback, your questions and your needs.

Every new edition will continue growing together with you.

We also believe that this kind of education is essential for those who teach...

…and a gift for those who search, feel, question and truly love this culture.

The theme of our second profound formation is

A culture filled with mystery, symbolism and traditions that have had a profound influence on Afro-Cuban dance.

During this formation we will spend 14 hours together.

Not to fit more content into the schedule.

But to slow down enough for knowledge to become understanding.
