Join Sadie and Lorena for a once in a lifetime experience in Merida, Yucatan! We will learn two choreographies over the course of 4 days, with free days in between to explore Cenotes, Mayan ruins, and the beautiful city center of Merida! Our theatrical belly dance show will take place 1 hour outside of the city in the village of Sudzal. 

We ask that attendees have at a minimum of 1 year of belly dance experience before attending this performance intensive.

2022 Testimonials

"Sadie and Lorena are two of a kind as instructors, performers, and most recently, retreat organizers! As a participant of their first theatrical belly dance retreat, my expectations were surpassed. Yes, we danced a lot and put together an awesome show at the end. But we also had opportunities to explore and experience some pretty incredible features of the Yucatán; there's nothing quite like standing next to 1,500 year old pyramids or swimming in crystal clear underground sinkholes." -Magda


"The retreat was wonderful. The word that comes to mind is "CONNECTIONS!" Connections to myself, my body and my dance practice. Connections to all the new friendships. Connections to a new place and new experiences. Connections to the wonderful performance opportunity. Connections to Nature. 
I feel so humbled and honored to have gotten the opportunity to attend. Sadie and Lorena thank you for your courage in organizing such an event for us. You both created a brave and a safe space that not only nurtured us dancers but also provided healthy challenges for us to grow.  I had a lot of time to think and reflect about so much! I also felt so much support around me. I am full of gratitude and wonder. Thank you!" -Eva 

"This retreat was a spectacular experience! We had the perfect mix of "work" and play - dancing hard and exploring to our heart's content. It was a truly special experience getting to perform in Sudzal - I have never felt such love from an audience before. I loved the fact that walking everywhere made our little part of the city feel like home for the week. Getting to see the surrounding landscape on our way to swim in stunning cenotes or explore ancient ruins was perfect. The cenotes were jaw-dropping - feeling like we were swimming in prehistoric surroundings was magical. Thank you so much to Sadie and Lauren for sharing your love of dance with us in such a beautiful way in a beautiful place." -Oakley
