Roots Dance

Roots dance is a dance that invades your body and mind. It is an ancestral dance connected to mother earth and the different events that exist in life such as a marriage or a baptism, it is a connection with nature to ask for rain or a ritual for the departure of a loved one.

It’s origins come from Guinea Conakry and the dance adapted each time it touched a new culture. The dance as brought to you by Marta is a mix of time, places and cultures, added to her own interpretation and fire in dance.  

With roots dance, you will feel the connection to mother earth, with yourself, and the drums. The energy and joy of the drums literally invades your body. It opens your heart chakra and emotions through the most primal sounds and moving postures that makes you enter in a state of trance in which, without losing consciousness, you are invaded by intense joy and happiness.

This type of dance gives you the opportunity to work and release through the expression of the body, all the tensions and emotions that we absorb and live every day, that are being recorded in our muscles, bones and cells. It unlocks emotions, reduces stress and opens your mind and your senses.

It increases your motoric coordination, your lymphatic drainage, your cognitive and lung capacity. It tones, strengthens and flexes your body, eliminates fats and toxins, and stimulates the production of endorphins, thereby increasing your sense of well-being and self-esteem.

But most importantly, it lets you have a super fun time in which you forget everything around you.
