Small session to practice some salsa basic figures
We have a meeting to plan and practice for the next day's bhajan event.
Hello people,
📆on Friday the 06.05.2026 we will have the next The Element Key Jam in Jena
💚 Socialising happens between 18:30 and 19:00.
⏰ At 19:00 we will start the session and close the doors for this evening, since we need to explain the rules and create a space for exploration.
End: latest 21:30.
The Element Key Jam is a mixture of music, dance, poetry and drawing.
It is co-created by all the participants. There is no audience for which we perform.
It is about immersion in the moment and feeling light hearted.
🎷🎺🎤🎨🩰🎹Please bring your own equipment: like instruments, dancing shoes, drawing equipment, written texts or something to write on.
I will bring a Cajon, some percussions and two microphones with me. There is a piano.
You will learn everything you need within the session.
We are looking forward to jamming with you 🙂
