Art should not be boring, it should be a celebration. At least it is what French artist Jean Dubuffet thinks of art. He says that people should see his work as ardent celebration. While I visit his artwork in Bilbao, I think the same for dance. Dance is more than a celebration for the people of Bilbao, it is a reflection of their identity. During my visit to Bilbao, I have met the most lovely and friendly dancers. Here is their story. ------------------------- Dance Journals tells the stories about dance from inspirational dancers to dances from all over the world.

Morris dance is one of the most prominent English folk dances. At first I was reluctant to film Morris dance; but my understanding about it has changed. I went to Rochester Sweeps Festival in Kent to record and better understand Morris dance. It was an incredible experience for me. I invite you to join this journey with me to learn more about this traditional dance of England. #morrisdance #morris ********** Pioneers by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Artist: http://audionautix.com/ ------------------------- Dance Journals tells stories about dance from inspirational dancers to dances from all over the world.

Every year on the 1st of May, Morris dancers wake up before the sun rises and they dance at dawn. Because if they don’t, the sun does not rise. At least that’s what they believe ☺️Morris dance is a traditional dance of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 This video is from Rochester Sweeps Festival 2022. It is a celebration of folk music and dance; and it has become one of the largest May Day celebrations of its kind in the world. For three days historic Rochester is transformed into a riot of colour and sound with the musicians and bands on the folk circuit and hundreds of Morris dancers from across the country. 🎻 🎼 #morrisdance #dance #dancer #shorts #youtubeshorts

Lourdes Fernandez was the first dancer that I filmed for Dance Journals. Besides her being so friendly, charming, and warm, she is a dedicated and hardworking flamenco dancer; and one of the best in London. I love the idea of her being from Madrid as I am in love with that city. She has been dancing and teaching flamenco for years here; if you want to learn how to dance flamenco from her or watch her shows just follow her Instagram account. #shorts #youtubeshorts #flamenco

A cocktail to get warm 🔥 It can be a cold winter day that makes you desire to sit in front of a fireplace. Conversely it can be a night that you cannot find the holding arms that you wish for, then a cocktail to get warm is always the best idea. Here are the ingredients you need for Classic Hot Toddy cocktail: Preheated glass 2 ounces whiskey 2 teaspoons honey 2 teaspoons lemon juice Hot water 1 lemon round and 1 cinnamon stick for garnish Otherwise dance is also always a good option to get warm! I am not an expert in making cocktails; I love drinking them more than preparing. However I love the idea of combining cocktails with dance. The cocktails are a good way to get your body moving on a dance floor. I’ve been reading and watching the best ways to make cocktails recently; so I’ll be sharing with you what I’ve learned through this process. #cocktail #dance #shorts #youtubeshorts #cocktailrecipes

Burns was born on the 25th January 1759, dinners are held on this date each year to mark his birth, and celebrate his work. These nights are called Burns Night.

French dance group Géométrie Variable designs a show which has the same effect as a kaleidoscope: Colourful, hypnotising and balanced. 🇫🇷 The members of the group use their hands, arms and bodies to create geometric shapes. This reveals a soothing and magnetic effect on the audience. 🧲 They are famous for their tutting, popping and locking moves.

What is your favorite Christmas movie? Whether you like romantic comedies or family get-togethers, we can feed our romantic side thanks to the Christmas movies. If there is something better than watching a movie, it is being in the movie; and dance nights provide you that opportunity. In London, Simply Ballroom was organized in the Cecil Sharp House before Omicron struck the city. The dancing couples had accompanied the most beautiful Christmas songs. There are not enough words to describe how elegant looking the dancers were. I felt like I was invited for a magical night in a castle somewhere in the world. That night dancers floating in their chic dresses and seeing smiling faces felt like a scene from a movie. ------------------------- Dance Journals tells the stories about dance from inspirational dancers to dances from all over the world.

The French artist Nicolas Poussin is unique in depicting dance in his paintings. He reveals unprecedented choreography in the figures appearing in his paintings and sculptures. He was obsessed with travelling to Rome as the city is famous for ancient artistic treasures. He arrived in Rome in 1624 at the age of 29 and, other than one visit back to France, he spent the rest of his career there. The reflection of his inspiration from Rome can be seen in his paintings as he revives the classical world of the gods and the nymphs in colour. Poussin (1594-1665) has inspired artists like Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon and George Shaw. I am lucky to be able to witness the colourful moving figures in his artworks at the ‘Poussin and the Dance’ exhibition in the National Gallery in London. You can also visit the exhibition until the 6th of January.

Dancing to live music is delightful. You feel so special as there are musicians on the stage using their talent just to make you move to the rhythm. While you lose yourself in the tunes and maybe even forget about the musicians, there is whole another story on the stage. The musicians behind their instruments constantly evaluate the songs they play to find the best ones that will give you more joy while dancing. I wanted to discover the feelings of the musicians that play for the dancers, so I followed the Swing Ninjas in Shoreditch, London. They played for the Swing into Winter event organized by SwingDanceUK. Swing Ninjas is a Brighton based New Orleans swing, blues and cajun jazz band. They started on the streets of Brighton; and they have been playing all over the world for the last 11 years. I really enjoyed the music they played and filming the dancers losing themselves in their songs. There was a constant smile on my face while editing the video. In this video I use two songs from their ‘Do You Hallelujah?’ album: This Time I'm RIght and The Devil In Despair. These are my favourite ones from the album; thanks very much to Swing Ninjas for giving me permission to use them in my video. https://theswingninjas.co.uk/ https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSwingNinjas #swing #swingband #swingninjas ------------------------- Dance Journals tells the stories about dance from inspirational dancers to dances from all over the world.

A Saturday afternoon on an autumn day in a lovely church in West London… People are coming to the dancehall one by one, some alone and some with their partners or families. They seem shy at first, they throw humble looks and say greetings with quiet words. As they gather a bigger group, the smiles on their faces get huge and the joy turns into warm hugs. After allocating the chairs, the journey around the world with different music genres and songs in various languages start in this sweet church. Now the big laughs, peaceful connection between the dancers and the confidence of being among friends have risen. These lovely people are the dancers of the Move into Wellbeing class. Some of them have been coming to this class for years now. Move into Wellbeing is chair-based dance exercise classes for adults living with Parkinson's and other mobility restrictions. It was founded by Donna Schoenherr in 2014. Donna is a dancer and a dance teacher living in West London. She founded Ballet4life dance school giving adult ballet classes almost 20 years ago. Her father had Parkinson’s for 30 years and Move into Wellbeing is dedicated to him. The scientific studies show that dance improves general symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. In this video you’ll learn more about the benefits of the dance for people with Parkinson’s disease. You’ll also witness the strong connection between Donna, Beatrice Ghezzi who is the lead teacher of Move into Wellbeing, and the dancers. #Parkinson's #Parkinsons #Parkinsonsdance ------------------------- Dance Journals tells the stories about dance from inspirational dancers to dances from all over the world.

From the streets of Buenos Aires to London… For me tango is associated with the movie Sur (The South) of the director Fernando Solanas. Sur is one of my favorite movies that tells the story of the streets of Buenos Aires after the end of the military coup in 1983. The movie opens with incredible tango music, and throughout the whole film you follow the story of the characters with fascinating tango pieces. That’s the magic of the music and dance, how they fill the background of our lives… #shorts #tango #tangolondon

I was walking down the street, it was a regular Sunday, just like today. I was craving for; but not expecting any surprises. Maybe just with the pandemic, the streets have lost their charm for making you joyful in unexpected ways. But last Sunday was different, the dance was back to the city! I could not believe my eyes and filmed the tango aficionados with the thrill coming from my heart. It’s been amazing to film dancers after so long. It is priceless to record the feelings coming out of the faces of the dancers while they lost themselves in the music. #shorts #tango #tangolondon

Sevillana is one of the most known types of folk songs and dances of Spain. Even though it has different regional versions, today Sevillana is mostly associated with Seville, the capital of Andalucia region of Spain. The most popular version of Sevillana is performed as flamenco dance. 💃🏻 You can see people dancing Sevillana in parties, fiestas, weddings, festivals and celebrations. 🎉 This is a spontaneous performance of Sevillana in a very sweet cocktail bar of Seville. Premier Garden Cocktail Bar is a lovely garden bar close to Plaza de España. 🍹 A duo was performing amazing flamenco songs and all of a sudden the bar employees and the visitors got up to dance Sevillana. It is actually a one of a kind experience!

Flamenco as an incredible and magical art form was born in Andalucia of Spain. Flamenco, a striking song and dance culture, is believed to begin with the fifteenth-century arrival of the gypsies to the Cadiz countryside of Jerez and Seville. Some attribute it to Arabic Spain, since the modulations and melisimas that define the flamenco genre could come from the monochord Islamic chants. As one of the hometowns of flamenco, Seville is the city to watch a flamenco dance spectacle; and there cannot be a better place for it than Plaza de España. Plaza de España is also like a dance of light, sun and architecture. This plaza was designed by the Seville architect Aníbal González as an emblematic space for the 1929 Ibero-American Expo. There are also many movies and television shows that are filmed there like Lawrence of Arabia and Episode II of “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones”. I came across these amazing flamenco singers, dancers and artists in one sunny and hot afternoon in Plaza de España. And I was just entranced and delighted to be able to film them here. #shorts #flamenco #dance ----------------------------------------------- In Dance Journals, we are telling the stories about dance from inspirational dancers to dances from all over the world.
