Collab’ Dance Workshop | Toulouse
Collab’ Dance is a freestyle dance workshop in Toulouse, combining body exploration and live music. An immersive experience to express yourself freely, move mindfully, and celebrate the body in motion. Collab’ Dance combines a guided workshop with an DJ set inspired by wave of Ecstatic Dance, for an immersion in improvisation, freedom, and the joy of the body in motion.
Principles
Collab’ Dance is inspired by the Swell Dance format born in Paris. It offers a guided first part to freely explore movement, followed by an hour of free dance to an eclectic DJ set. A space without substances, without words, where respect, presence, and freedom of bodily expression are at the heart of the experience.

Who is hosting?
Maya Martinez
Dancer
Maya is a multidisciplinary artist. She trained professionally in dance for several years, then in physical theater. Today, she participates in various artistic projects where she is a dancer, actress. Through different mediums (body, speech, writing, music), she seeks expression at the heart of the sensitive. Her artistic material is soft and frontal. She works mainly with improvisation. In love with the poetry of the moment, she likes to recall the universality of the intimate. A committed artist, art is for Maya a way to touch, question, and bring together.
