✨ What a year! ✨
We’ve finished our final retreat and — as always — those weeks were super intensive!
We had been together during two immersions and the 4-day-long festival.
Each time, I’m so amazed by you—this beautiful community coming together again for the Berlin Blues & Fusion Experience, the Alumni Immersion, and the DanceMode Blues Immersion.
Each year, I see it grow, bringing amazing energy and building something truly boutique and special: an event rooted in *live music appreciation and community connection.*
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing up, dancing, learning, and sharing yourselves with this community! 💙
I also want to mention and appreciate other people who made it all possible:
🎶 **Our Musicians** — Remi Bankyln, Marcos Coll, Stef Rosen, Will Jacobs Band, Lars Voges, Ben "King" Perkoff, Ernie Schmiedel, McKinley Moore — you gave us fire, soul, and roots.
🩰 **Our Teachers** — Gabriel Huot, Greg D**e, Lea Wenger — thank you for sharing your knowledge, your hearts, and your creativity.
🎧 **Our DJs** — BJ, Fluff, Nadja, Izzie, Thierry, Malcolm, Greg — for weaving the nights together with texture, groove, and inspiration.
💫 **My Partner in Crime** — Nadja, who dreamed it up with me and made it all happen.
🌟 **Staff** — Annette, Weronika, Stacey — and our **Hosts** — David, Alex, Mathilde, Emanuel — who kept the vibe smooth, welcoming, and joyful.
🙏 **Our work-trade crew: Volunteers and Hosts** — your help during each day’s duties and challenges is priceless!
Here’s to more music, more dance, more connection.
See you on the dance floor! ✨💃🕺🎶
