About the project
Tur Cos Ta Posibel offers dance placements for individual graduates (2-12 months) or trainee groups (2-3 weeks), working with us and local partners. Depending on the curriculum, participants can engage in choreography, dance teaching, leading workshops in schools, and working with youth and the elderly. All of this takes place in a nation where dance is deeply embedded in cultural traditions.
Students will learn about Aruba’s rich history of dance, from its origins in slavery to its significant role in the annual carnival, which is a vibrant celebration of culture and heritage. They will co-deliver workshops, share their own dance styles from their home countries, and gain new skills and perspectives through immersion in Caribbean culture.
Aruba boasts a diverse dance scene, including salsa, merengue, bachata, kizomba, and carnival dances, each showcasing its unique cultural heritage.
Your students will become part of Aruba’s dynamic dance community, contributing to and learning from a vibrant culture where dance is a powerful form of expression.
