„This ample project with educational, artistic actions, and therapeutic support, works with seventy nine people, which range from children, young people, adults, and the elderly, and we intend to continue growing and extend our participation whilst working competitively within the “dance market”, because we work with dancers that dance “with the body” and not „despite the body”.
