We are Afonso Urze & Constança Lobão and on Saturday, January 17, we want to get you moving. After a very successful and fun afternoon at Aldeias à Vista in Santa Clara-a-Velha, we are heading to the Alentejo coast, at the request of several families, with not just one but TWO Swing Dance Workshops!
We will mainly explore the movement and music associated with Lindy Hop and Charleston, with triple steps, groove walks, kicks, and other things with fun names. This time, we have divided the workshop into two parts, each lasting one hour:
The first will be an introduction to the basics of these dances, so that everyone can join in and get used to the rhythms. If you already have experience, you are also very welcome, of course. You will have fun anyway and maybe even brush up on your skills!
This is followed by a second class in which, with the music already in our bodies and full of energy, we explore the connection a little more and venture into a small choreography. Everyone is welcome to this class too, but if you've never danced swing before, that's exactly why the first class is there! We recommend it :)
The idea is that after the workshops you'll feel cool and comfortable joining the dance, trying out the new dance moves, inventing others, and playing the night away! Because that's what swing is all about baby 🎶 Relevant information: Class 1 - 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Class 2 - 6:30pm-7:30pm Dinner - 7:30pm Swing Dance Party All Night - 9pm-11:30pm Suggested price range: 1 class - 8 to 12 bucks 2 classes - 14 to 20 bucks
Dance party - free admission The purpose of the scale is to reflect each person's current financial situation, ranging from an amount we consider charitable to an amount that supports our rabas, so that they can continue to move without becoming sedentary jelly. If you currently have no way to pay for these classes, let us know, because you are still very welcome. See you there? 🤗🫂

✨ rebirthing breathwork ✨ After a long summer break, I’m so happy to be opening the doors again and reconnecting with our breathwork community at Lazuz, in Lameiros. ❤️ 🌿 Monday, 21st September 10:30am – approx. 1pm 📍 Lazuz, Lameiros This session is an invitation to pause, breathe, and come back home to yourself. Maybe your summer has involved a lot of working, caretaking, travelling, or tending to other people’s needs. Maybe you’re ready to recharge your batteries, reconnect with your own needs and desires, or simply create some space to listen inward. Through the power of your own breath, we can begin to release what has become stuck, reconnect with the body, support a more regulated nervous system and open space for whatever is ready to be felt, explored or released. Breathwork can be a profound journey of coming back to yourself, reconnecting with your heart, your aliveness, your pleasure, your health, your direction and your deeper sense of purpose. Your breath knows where to take you. The session is held in a safe, supportive and trauma-informed container, with space to explore at your own pace. Group places are limited. 💛 Sliding-scale contribution: €15 - supported / low income €30 - regular €45 - supporting To join: 🌐 www.premajulia.com 📩 Or simply send Prem a private message. If you have any questions or would like to check whether breathwork is suitable for you, especially if you have any physical or mental health considerations, please feel free to reach out. I’m so looking forward to breathing, exploring and reconnecting with you again. ❤️ Only love, Prema
