Vienna – Our Congo Gospel Dance Workshop in Vienna was a complete success! With beaming faces, moving bodies, and unforgettable music, we experienced a day that will stay with us for a long time.

But this workshop was more than just dance – it was an experience of healing and comfort .

Why healing and comfort?

Anyone who has ever gotten to know a Congolese person knows that despite the most adverse circumstances – from the silent genocide in the Democratic Republic of Congo to everyday challenges – Congolese have not lost their smile and their joy in life .

A key reason for this lies in the music – and not just any music, but in the special Congolese gospel music with its unique dance.

In our workshops, you'll quickly realize that to participate, you need to clear your mind and let go of worries and despair. The movement, the shared dancing in a group, and the opportunity for individual expression within the basic steps create space for inner healing and comfort .

What our participants experienced

Our workshop participants have exactly that

The experience included sharing, community, lots of laughter, and a tangible sense of letting go. Many went home with a catchy tune stuck in their hearts and a radiant smile.

In our culture, dancing brings people together – without any ifs or buts.
