Lisbon or Lisboa for me is one of the most beautiful city in the world!

That’s why I was so happy to accompany talented dancers and organizers “Dance and Travel” in Lisbon as a photographer.

This trip was so incredible not only because of the city, but also because of the perfect teacher-team and very cool participants. To met old friends and to knew the new ones were the best things what could happened to me this June 2019!

“Dance and Travel” contains 7 Days full of qualitative Workshops with international teachers, excursions in the region with professional guides, dance parties and dinners all together as team.

This year we could see so many new stunning places and pretty locations with delicious dining. We saw the highlights of Lisbon, Parque Natural de Sintra-Lascais, Palacio Nacional de Pena and Cabo da Roca. We were at the beach, put us out in the sun, danced our Rueda (also at another places) and also some of us were so crazy to swam, even though the water and air temperature were colder as it must be in summer.

The best part of the trips for me were Cabo da Roca and the concert of legendary “Havana de Primera”, probably the Number One Band of Cuba and nowadays is one of the famous bands of cuban music in the world. We all were glad to be there and to enjoy the brilliant timba, salsa cubana, especially the awesome and always recognizable voice and the trumpet of the main Man in the band, Alexander Abreu and his band members!

The last evening before flight home we had the “Gala-party” at our hotel, all participants had a dress code “Red Carpet”, our group was the most chic and glamour, and our Deejays – Peter & Luis made the best cuban music ever! Big thanks to our teachers: Sofia&Ariel, Michel, Luis&Jenni, who showed us a lot about basics & advanced cuban dancing, son, musicality, rumba cubana and woman&man styling. There fore it was more wonderfully to see that our dancers could used and presented almost everything what they learned at the workshops, at the last party.

I met so huge, cool people and had magnificent trip full of work-photography and so much fun together!

Thank you our dearest organizers – Jenni, Luis&Jule to made our tour so amazing and very special.

I cherish you all and hope to see you next summer in Lisbon or at another city with “Dance and Travel” ! <3
