Agata Romankiewicz

She loves dance as a form of dialogue – listening attentively to her own and her partner’s needs and exploring the soft and dynamic movement of bodies in contact. For over 9 years she has been exploring different languages ​​of dance – blues, folk, balfolk, tango, Lindy-hop. For about 5 years she has been practicing Contact Improvisation – she had the opportunity to explore the subject at international CI festivals in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Austria – and in Poland at the Flow festival or Cyrkulacje.
