RUEDX HELSINKI
17.-19.3.2022
RuedX, short for Rueda Exchange, is an event where groups from many countries (cities) are invited to a host city for a series of workshops taught by instructors from those groups. Ethan Wagner came up with that wonderful idea! RuedX weekends are a fun way to share our knowledge and passion for Rueda; to travel, dance, and make new friends; to strengthen the Rueda community in Europe and around the world; and to keep growing and evolving from traditional Rueda.
To our RuedX in Helsinki we invited innovative Cantantes and groups from all over Europe with a maximum of 4 people per group. We really want to work on new ideas together, try them and see what works and what doesn’t. We don't want to compete with festivals but to put the exchange character in the centre of attention. The people we invited are multipliers who will hopefully bring the ideas back to their Rueda communities.
QUICK FACTS
SMALL RUEDX
With only 30-40 attendees, there's a lot of time to exchange between individual people and groups from all over Europe!
COMPACT
Two full days of exchanging ideas and three parties, mostly in the same location!
EXPERIMENTAL
As the groups are of limited sizes, there's time to really dive into any experimental and new ideas everyone brings to the table!
