PDX Urban Retreat: April 2023

Next Steps Urban Retreat: Led by Vincent Martínez-Grieco in Portland, Oregon

Join Vincent for this extended dancing experience in his jewel of a city!

The Dance Floor:
This dancing practice is an iterative experience that concentrates on the freedom and variety inevitable in repetition. Not only does the body physically dance, but you will become attuned to the dances of the heart, of intuition, of service, of friendliness to self and others, and to freedom and fulfillment.

The City:
Springtime in Portland!  We are talking moist atmospheres, early daffodils, and temperate degrees for walking about.   
“Portland, Oregon has been my home for a long time and I never tire of its splendor and livability. I look forward to sharing it with you!” ~ Vincent

Cable cars, downtown Pioneer Square

Its many parks, highlighted by Forest Park, a 5200 acre Urban Forest

Restaurants and Food Carts ( a Portland tradition) abound

Performances and Concerts while you are here: Candlelight Series, The Spin & Firebird

The Everett House, a Portland institution; I would use these facilities as a young dancer who had muscle aches after a long day of rehearsal and classes. It’s a clean and safe energy place you may enjoy as well.

Looking for a massage while here, I recommend the gifted hands of Nick at Massage Hodgepodge.

As we will be dancing 10am-3pm most days, you’ll have some time to take advantage of what this Rose City has to offer!
