Children’s Entertainment
Orfeo offers artistic animations for children such as storytelling workshops, dance and body language workshops, African dance workshops and many more.
Playful Dance Workshops Mixing the game, the rhythm, and the meaning of the celebration.
These workshops aim to support the development of the child and encourage him to get to know himself better, to gain self-confidence, to develop his creativity and his freedom, as well as to enrich his expressiveness by exploring the relationship to oneself, to others and to the world.
We will also work on the rhythm, important for any dance, which is in a way the setting, the warrant of our dance.
The notion of a group is important in order to promote play together, solidarity, respect, good manners, and celebrate joy together.
Depending on the evolution of the group, a small choreography inspired by children’s movements can be created with a moment dedicated to improvisation.
My dance career is very eclectic, but it has always accompanied me since I was little by moving from rhythmic gymnastics, ballroom dancing, Argentine tango, rock and roll to salsa.
I have also practiced African percussion for 10 years and introduced myself to southern Italian percussion.
It has been 6 years now that I have been taking Gypsy Duende, Oriental Duende and Danza Duende courses within the ASBL Mudriam (Danza Duende Belgium – www.mudriam.org). I am part of an amateur dance company of gypsy inspiration: the FRENEZA JUPOJ (crazy skirts in Esperanto).
I have also led female dance lessons at the Maison des Femmes in Schaerbeek.
Working with children has always attracted me because during my youth, I led different groups of children in a youth movement, as well as organized environmental awareness workshops. I have a certificate in eco-pedagogy, focused on environmental education.
I currently teach a dance class for children aged 6 to 8 in extracurricular activties at the Saint-Joseph school in Boondael. and dance workshops for homeless children in collaboration with the SAMU social.
