SURPRISE!

On Saturday, June 13th we kicked off the Talent Carnival early with a burlesque fusion workshop by Eliana Hofmann!

 

Eliana is known as a versatile, expressive dance artist and an inspiring and dedicated teacher, living in Germany. She is one of Europe’s top Tribal Fusion dancers having performed many times in the famous Belly Dance Evolution Tours. We are so happy to have Eliana as part of the Online Talent Carnival, after many earlier projects together.

Join Eliana for this Burlesque Fusion workshop. An energizing and bit cheeky workshop with a lot of shimmies! Marco Hofmann provides live music on the piano, made especially for this workshop. For us! YEAH!

HAVE FUN!

Because of COVID-19 restrictions, Iris was not able to travel from Germany to Rotterdam to tape her performance for the Talent Show. Such a pity as she worked so hard on her performance. That is why she still performed for us from home! Check out her amazing capoeira fusion.
