Discover a little more from Darwin Diaz: 

"The day I discovered the dance it was a pure revelation. It was the first time that I was in real contact with my body and when I found out that I could move and be truly free; a feeling that I had never had before in my life. Dance opened to me a world full of challenges, happiness and specially a territory where I could explore my sensitivity.

I studied at IUDANZA, Dance University in Caracas and them I had the privilege to go with a scholarship from German Academic Exchange Services DAAD - Fundayacucho to study a specialisation in Modern Dance in the Folkwang Universität Essen-Germany. From 2009 to 2014, I danced at the Folkwang Tanz-Studio and then I worked for the TheaterTrier under the Artistic direction of Susanne Linke.

I have worked with different Choreographers like Pina Bausch, Rodolpho Leoni, Samir Akika, Urs Dietrich, Marc Sieszkarek, Daniel Goldin, Chikako Kaido, Anna Holter, Fang-Yu Shen, Julio César Iglesias, Alexis Fernandez, David Hernandez, Felix Bürkle and Hannes Langolf amongst others. I have also worked successfully as a choreographer, receiving twice, the first and critic prize in two different dance festivals in Germany.

Parallel with my dance studies, I got close to Yoga and its way of living and thinking. Therefore, I immersed myself in this philosophy which took me to India, where I lived for a couple of months getting close to the Yoga magic and principles and the reality of its fascinating culture.

In my professional life, I mix the Knowledge of Dance and Yoga to explore and create a balance between body, mind and soul. As a teacher, I explore specifically between Hatha-Yoga and Release Technique. Dance and Yoga mean everything to me, which makes me feel happy and connected with myself, the people around me, the entire world and finally with the Universe."
