Dance performance/workshop for adults. "Dance helps me feel better and forget the voices in my head, music allows me to connect with others, and the group helps me not feel alone. For a moment, I forget my illness; for a moment, I become human again. For a few hours, I remember that I can do it too, that I am capable of doing something, and that I can remember steps, sequences, and music. For a moment, I am enveloped in Love, Hope, and Trust, and I am no longer that person ostracized by society. I can be myself, forgetting my illness for a moment."

This participatory workshop uses dance and creative movement as tools to place well-being at the center, with a focus on enhancing the emotional and physical health of ICS professionals, other healthcare workers, and the adult population. Dance is Health! invites participants to set aside gender roles and stereotypes, focusing instead on what each body needs to express, share, and coexist in a more inclusive and respectful way. In dance, there is no judgment, no error — only creativity and the opportunity to reconnect with the body in a sensory, expressive, and playful way, beyond analytical thinking. The workshop will be held in the main hall of the Catalan Health Institute (Barcelona) and led by Sílvia Cepero Domínguez, professional dancer, facilitator, and founder of the contemporary dance company El Desvío. ICS and El Desvío previously collaborated on the pilot arts-in-health project “Dance and Emotional Support in Situations of Gender Violence”, which engaged female ICS professionals in the first half of 2025
