  - name: Infinitumball
    details: "\"Infinitum ball\" is the continuous, no-ending process of dancing, learning, and being together. This event will happen for the first time in Lithuania, so we hope to see everyone enjoying an infinite journey together. During the festival, there will be various workshops and dance balls. You will see performers from Lithuania and other European countries on the stage.\r\n\r\nWe would love to see how this festival becomes a tradition and connects Bal folk dancers from all over Europe.\r\nBehind the name:\r\n\r\nAd infinitum :\r\n1. meaning - without end or limit\r\n2. meaning - In context, it usually means \"continue forever, without limit,\" this can be used to describe a non-terminating process, a non-terminating repeating process, or a set of instructions to be repeated \"forever,\" among other uses. It may also be used like the Latin phrase et cetera to denote written words or a concept that continues for a lengthy period beyond what is shown. Examples include:\r\n\r\nBallo/ball :\r\n1. meaning - The Ballo was an Italian dance form during the fifteenth century, most noted for its frequent tempo and meter changes. The name ballo has its origin in Latin ballo, ballare, meaning \"to dance,\" which in turn comes from the Greek \"βαλλίζω\" \"to dance, to jump about.\" In Greece, there is a Greek dance named Ballos.\r\n2. meaning - Ballroom dances are social dancing, popular since the beginning of the 20th century, to dances in conventional rhythms ( ballroom dances) such as the foxtrot and the quickstep.\r\nProgram and other info later this year.\r\n\r\nDance is energy – Dance is freedom!\r\n\r\nNotice for Event Participants:\r\nPhotography and Videography Consent: As an attendee, you may be included in photographs and video recordings captured during the event. These materials are intended for promotional and archival purposes. If you prefer not to be featured, please inform us at least two days before the event.\r\n\r\nMore about us: https://www.facebook.com/tradiciniu.sokiu.mokymai\r\nWe would be grateful for your support! https://www.patreon.com/join/Dance_workshops"

AANTAL PLAATSEN: 16\nTAAL: Nederlands\nDUUR: 2,5 dag\nAANMELDEN: link volgt\n\n\n𝗪𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲: Een weekend op een besloten locatie om je te verdiepen in dans, je eigen lichaam en een ontwikkelproces aan te gaan met behulp van gespecialiseerde workshops. Met veel persoonlijke aandacht en gerichte oefeningen. Een intensive onderscheidt zich van een enkele workshop in een totaal opbouw met dieper detailniveau waarop wordt gewerkt. Met persoonlijke feedback uit de groep en van docent(en). De intensive is gericht op dansers die willen groeien en vanuit een technischere basis willen leren bewegen. Met als doel uiteindelijk meer vrijheid in hun dans te kunnen vinden (betere connectie en meer variatie). De duur van de intensive geeft de mogelijkheid om langer stil te staan bij onderwerpen en te werken met ervarend leren. Waarbij ruimte wordt gemaakt voor het invullen van een persoonlijk leerdoel.\n𝗗𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗷𝗴𝗲𝗻:\nBiomechanica en natuurwetten, danshouding en basis danstechniek (denk o.a. aan balans en spierspanning), consent, connectie en improvisatie (en muzikaliteit). De focus ligt hierbij niet op danspassen maar op beweging en lichaamscontrole en belangrijkste nog wel de communicatie binnen een danskoppel. Hoe dans je samen, in plaats van hoe dans ik mét iemand…\n𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀: Deelname is geschikt voor dansers uit de social dance scene. Basis ervaring in de rol van leiden OF volgen is noodzakelijk en kennis van de meest voorkomende dansen binnen Balfolk is gewenst. In de intensive wordt van een danser gevraagd om zichzelf te evalueren en ook anderen van feedback te voorzien. Belangrijk is dus dat je bij deelname open staat voor zelfontwikkeling.\nEr wordt gewerkt met een beperkte groepsgrootte zodat er ruimte is voor voldoende persoonlijke aandacht van de docent en wisselen in de groep zodat we vooral ook van elkaar kunnen leren, waarbij de deelnemers ook zelf aangeven waar ze op willen ontwikkelen.\n🅛🅔🅣 🅞🅟: Het instapniveau ligt relatief hoog, twijfel je over je dansniveau?
