Vai šī būs Tava deju sezona? ✨

Iepazīsties ar mūsu vadītājām Lieni un Ievu. 🤍

Katra no viņām ienes savas zināšanas, pieredzi un stiprās puses, bet kopā viņas ir īsts spēka tandēms. No dejas tehnikas un precizitātes līdz radošumam, enerģijai un iedvesmai - viss, lai mēs uz skatuves justos pārliecināti un izskatītos lieliski. ✨

Wow. What a crazy few days! 🤯

While we’ve been away in Italy, our latest video somehow reached over half a million views and we’ve just hit over 2,000 followers. 🥳

(This is a few of us attempting to be number 2,000. 😅)

A massive thank you to everyone who follows, likes, comments and shares our videos. ❤️

Because of you, we’ve had so many people getting in touch about joining the group. That’s why spreading the word is honestly one of the biggest ways you can support us. Without people, there would be no community. 💃

Lots of love (and dance),

Rokraksts dancers ❤️

Arī šogad mums bija prieks piedalīties Cosmopolitan Arts festivālā. 🧡 Jau otro gadu pēc kārtas satikām tik daudz dažādu kultūru un kopienu vienuviet, un tieši tas šo festivālu padara tik īpašu.

Paldies organizatoriem par uzaicinājumu un iespēju būt daļai no šīs skaistās dienas. Arī laikapstākļi mūs lutināja, tāpēc trešo deju sezonu noslēdzām uz patiešām pozitīvas nots. ☀️

Last Saturday, we had the pleasure of taking part in the Cosmopolitan Arts Festival for the second year in a row. 🧡 It was wonderful to see so many different cultures and communities come together in one place and that's what makes this festival so special.

A big thank you to the organisers for inviting us and giving us the opportunity to be part of such a lovely day. The weather was on our side once again, making it the perfect way to wrap up our third dance season. ☀️
