BE BALANCE is the second module of Be The Dance, a series of 4 dance workshops open to beginners and dance lovers.
Our balance is not static. Rather, it is a dynamic, fluid state, coordinated from one moment to the next by the entire body working together cooperatively. We may not realize it, but there is a dance that happens naturally every time we move.
Let’s explore together this dance and find balance in a fun, light and pleasurable way.
The workshop will be given by Safia, dancer and director of Porto Alegre Dance Company.
Safia talks about BE BALANCE: “Our ability to balance is vital. Although we take it for granted, almost everything we do, even sitting in a chair and reaching for a glass of water, requires good balance. Our balance is not static or based on our feet. Rather, it is a dynamic, fluid state, coordinated from one moment to the next by our brain, eyes, and entire body working together cooperatively. We may not realize it, but there is a dance that happens naturally every time we move.
In BE BALANCE we will start by exploring with our body how to be in balance in a relaxed way, without tension. From this point on, playing with new movements seeking harmony and contrasts becomes stimulating and fun. A new dance begins to emerge when you begin to consciously play with your balance, an intimate dance, full of presence and vitality, which can only happen with your own body.”
Registration is now open, check earlybird discounts. Spots are limited.

Porto Alegre Cia de Dança celebrated its 15th anniversary in March 2022. To celebrate with fans, friends and collaborators, the BE THE DANCE dance workshop program was launched: Be Water, Be Balance, Be Stillness and Be Total.
BE WATER is the first module of BE THE DANCE, a series of four dance workshops and is open to everyone, people with or without dance experience.
BE WATER was designed so that everyone can start a new journey of discovery, reconnecting with something essential and unique that already exists within you, your own dance. It is an invitation for each participant to find their own and original way of expressing themselves through movement.
The workshop is taught by Safia, a German-Brazilian dancer and director of Porto Alegre Companhia de Dança.
According to Safia: “BE WATER workshop is a space for everyone to get a taste of what it’s like to be in an inspiring dance class. We worked a little with modern dance techniques and awareness of movement, but also with free dance and guided improvisation. It is a space for everyone to explore their body and its possibilities of movement, in a fun, relaxed and conscious way”.

Querido Mark,
Aqui pensando que hoje (08 de julho) em Wuppertal acontece o enterro de Pina Bausch enquanto em Porto Alegre chove muito e há tanta umidade que a água escorre pelas paredes. Neste momento difícil tento ver a morte como uma transcendência, um tipo de celebração. Pina Bausch foi, sem duvida, uma realizadora que trouxe à vida momentos de tanta beleza e reflexão que nos deixam, apesar do pesar, com uma forte sensação de gratidão por haver dividido este mundo com ela.
A dança tem este toque do efêmero, só acontece com a presença, com a vida; não pode ser guardada, no máximo registrada. Esta é a mágica desta arte tão pura, ela é feita de momentos únicos. Um criador sabe disto e um bailarino sente isto quando está em cena. Não existe outro melhor momento, nada há para ganhar ou perder, nada há para mostrar, é pura entrega. Pina Bausch, para mim e imagino que para muitos, é um ícone. Conforta-me pensar que ela se entregou para morte como se entregava para a dança, para a vida…
Em busca destes momentos únicos, tenho trabalhado muito por aqui. No caminho encontro todo tipo de pessoas. Felizmente, como já tivestes oportunidade de ver, a Porto Alegre Cia de Dança é repleta de realizadores. E o trabalho, a filosofia e a prática da Companhia atraem cada vez mais gente. A Companhia é uma grande conspiração afinal, de pessoas ávidas por vida!
Mark, agradeço muito tua disposição, frente a este período de luto. É uma honra termos as palavras de Dominique em nosso BLOG. Assim como será uma honra para Porto Alegre receber este artista.
Querido, em breve estaremos fazendo o que queremos e sabemos, juntos. E vai ser muita dança, uma overdose irresistível, um verdadeiro chamamento à vida.
Beijo grande,
Tânia
