Visa 2 Dance in Tanzania, first week!

For the second time in a row we were invited to the dance festival "Visa 2 dance" in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We spent two fantastic weeks there, teaching, choreographing, rehearsing and performing. We met a lot of familiar and new faces during our stay. 
This is from our first week:

On our way!

Getting to know the neighbourhood with Nat, Anne, Pia, Kari and Berit.

Planning meeting.

We stayed at the very fancy four star hotel "Southern sun" who is sponsering the festival. Great hotel!

The girls are ready for first day of class and rehearsel.

First meeting with our Tanzanian dancers. Pia is holding a class for us.

What a great bunch!

Having lunch in tropical surroundings at Alliance francaise.

After class we went to The Russian Cultural Center to rehearse our new piece, "I wish her well". 

We went to our favourite restaurant where you can both play badminton and eat really good indian food all in the same place. What a perfect combination!

Anne is having a good laugh with Nat, our great composer. 

Pia is wondering why the chair has two arms. We still don't know...

This was a little bit from our first week. Stay tuned for lots more from our weekend break adventuring, and more from our last week of getting the choreography ready for stage and performing in the theatre :)
