Belly Button Colgadas
Using the right technique, a Colgada is not a question of age or sportiness! We learn small and fine varieties of belly button Colgadas that can be danced in a crowded Milonga without any trouble.

Contact Improvisation (CI)
CI is a dance with steady physical contact between you and your partner(s). CI is a process in which you learn, forget, accept, realise, digest and let go. Jasminka's approach is very physical but still fires your imagination. It's always about now, about being in the present moment.
