Danses du monde, danses en cercle

About the event

Danser ensemble les traditions du monde, pour débutant.e.s et initié.e.s

Avec Brigitte Mesdag et Jan Quintens

Nous, les êtres humains, dansons depuis le commencement. Nos premiers maîtres ? Les animaux et leurs merveilleuses chorégraphies de danses nuptiales au printemps. Les danseurs dans l’Antiquité exprimaient leur terreur, leur bravoure, leur émerveillement, leur besoin de rencontre. Selon les contrées, la géographie, l’environnement, le climat… des traditions sont nées, des peuples ont forgé leur identité. Les langues, chants et danses en témoignent. Dans différentes langues du monde, le mot « danse » signifie souvent « ronde, cercle » comme Hora, en Roumain, Kolo en Serbe et Croate. Chaque tradition a ses spécificités : costumes, rythmes, instruments et mélodies… pourtant un lien profond nous unit au-delà des frontières, des identités.

La danse traditionnelle était vécue et exécutée comme un rituel ou les besoins de rencontre, d’appartenance étaient nourris. Aujourd’hui encore, grâce au rituel, le besoin d’exprimer et de partager nos émotions nous relie : danser pour célébrer la joie d’une vie nouvelle, pour accompagner le deuil, pour donner du courage, pour signifier un changement. De tous temps, danser ensemble permet de transcender le quotidien, rend la vie, souvent dure, plus supportable.
Les participant.e.s danseront en deux groupes selon leur niveau d’expérience et technique. L’apprentissage des pas de base et la découverte des divers rythmes feront partie de l’enseignement. Nous commencerons et finirons ensemble avec des échauffements et danses partagés par toutes et tous.

Brigitte et Jan se sont inspirés de plusieurs traditions et cultures. Ils continuent à renouveler leur répertoire de danses françaises, israéliennes, roumaines, grecques, klezmer, arméniennes, turques argentines, serbes, croates etc. Leur objectif est de créer un espace de rencontre à travers le rituel de la danse.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
