Review: Move Your Bottom Valencia

It was some weeks ago but Move Your Bottom (2-5 March 2017) still make Daniel Morillo Almiralls heart and bottom beat. He is an energetic tap- and lindy dancer and travels a lot to experience weekenders and camps around Europe. This is his why you should not miss Move Your Bottom (MYB) in the Spanish town Valencia next year. Cover photo: Sara Pista  What makes Move Your Bottom unique? –  From my view, MYB were so good!

The Herräng soap – why you need it

Foto: Herrang Dance Camp Chronicle. I´m on my way home. Away from Herrang, the place that represents the beginning, my rebirth and where I return every year to shed my skin. I want to encapsulate everything that happened during the last weeks. I want to boil down the smell. Reuse all sounds and all feelings and make a soap. A soap that I can wash with every day – the rest of my life. Heavy dark clouds are wallowing up in the sky, the rain hangs in the air.
