If you want to breakdance, you first need to get familiar with the floor. In this workshop, we’ll develop a sense of how to move freely on it. Then the moves really take off, as we learn to find the right balance between control and letting go. This workshop is open to all levels and dance styles.

Inspired by the energy of break dancers from around the world, and particularly by the intense underground breakdancing jams, B-Girl Spinelli shares her enthusiasm for the visceral power of this language of movement. What matters here is not so much perfection as the joy of experimenting and self-expression.

Elena Bartosch, also known as Spinelli, is a dancer, performer and gardener from Vienna. Her roots lie in breakdancing, which remains the foundation of her movement style to this day, although she also draws inspiration from hip-hop, house, contemporary dance and the people she meets along the way.

As a member of the Succulents crew, the Viennese cultural association Toytopia and the international collective Breaking Silence, she is involved in dance, community work and cultural exchange. Attending battles and jams, she became part of the European breakdancing scene and is now active internationally as a dancer, teacher and judge.
