RAQSoul by Mercedes Nieto

Something I’ve been looking forward to all summer… tomorrow, RAQSummer Intensive finally begins in Budapest! ❤️
The first participants are arriving, and I’m so excited for these days of dancing, creating and discovering together.

And on Friday, you can join us ONLINE for a special Cinematic Oriental workshop. 🎥🎞
We'll spend two hours working on combinations to a classic song from the Golden Era of Egyptian music, in a brand new version you’ve never heard before. We’ll explore its music, rhythm and lyrics through movement and work on all the little details that make this piece unique.

Our Saturday evening Hafla with the RAQSummer participants and special guest artists is going to be amazing! 🤩

📅 August 29 (Saturday) 20:00
📍 Shiraz Restaurant - Budapest, Ráday Street 21, 1092

A beautiful way to close the summer – with mesmerizing dances, music, delicious Persian dishes, and a chance to experience a little piece of the RAQSummer atmosphere, even if you’re not joining the intensive. 🧡

Free entry – everyone is warmly welcome!

Our August RAQSoul live class will be a special one — a hybrid session taught live from my summer camp in Budapest! 😍☀

In just over a week, RAQSummer Intensive will begin, and I’m so excited that for the first time, one of our intensive sessions will also be open to you ONLINE.

We’ll spend two hours working on combinations to a classic Cinematic Oriental song from the Golden Era of Egyptian music, in a brand new version you’ve never heard before. We’ll explore its music, rhythm and lyrics through movement and work on all the tiny details that make this piece unique. ✨

If you’re in Budapest, we’d love to welcome you in the studio (either for this workshop or for the whole intensive weekend), or you can dance with us online on RAQSoul from anywhere around the world.

Tomorrow, Esme is back on RAQSoul! 😍

On Thursday evening, Esmeralda Colabone and I will be sharing a very special Pop-Up Dance Along Class.

🌍 The class is hybrid, so you can join us live in Budapest or online through RAQSoul from anywhere in the world.
🎥And if you can’t make it live, the recording will be available for one month.

A special summer surprise for you! 😍

It looks like summer on RAQSoul just wouldn’t be complete without Esme… ❤️ So this Thursday, Esmeralda Colabone is coming back for a special Pop-Up Dance Along Class!

Many of you might still remember the beautiful workshop she shared with us last year, and since she’ll be in Budapest this week, we simply couldn’t miss the chance to dance together again.

This will be a hybrid class, so if you’re in Budapest, we’d love to welcome you in the studio, or you can dance with us online on RAQSoul from anywhere around the world.

We’ll share with you more details very soon! Until then… save the date:
