About DancEscapade
This unique collaboration between Bellydance Superstar Boženka, who hosts this project in her home studio by the sea, and Belgian Superstar Khalida, who is sought out for teaching Oriental style as well as other disciplines fused into her classes, brings together an array of dancers from all over Europe. A weekend of working on technique, sharing dance performances and meeting new friends is what it is all about.
Multi-levels of dance training meld together to form an incredible atmosphere of learning and understanding. Group discussions are part of the curriculum too, allowing it to be an unforgettable and intimate experience. We welcome dancers from all walks of life to join our community of those who find joy in dance.
An inspiring break in a wonderful place – We can dance with amazing teachers and rest on the beach.
