DIDIDADA is a movement workshop created by Coco Villa. Conducted in follow-along style and guided improvisation, it is a celebration of nonsensical play. DIDIDADA prioritizes accessibility and silliness to give your mind, body, and spirit a sparkly mega boost through a variety of multidisciplinary exercises. It is about catharsis, getting back into our bodies, and simply dancing for the joy of moving through hyper warm ups, routines, and prompts. Instruction is inspired by Caribbean dance styles, dance fitness, somatic movement practices, and self proclaimed rituals. DIDIDADA is often accompanied by projected visuals to inspire pace and shapes, as we focus on continuity of motion. Some call it a brain break. Some call it a waking up game. Some call it a dance class.

DIDIDADA can take many forms. It has been held at traditional dance studios, wellness retreats, public parks and schools, universities, art galleries, museums, music venues, and so on. It is the opening to a string of social events, a private session, an interactive performance, a meditation, etc. This workshop is open to all skill levels, ages 5 and up. There is no choreography. There is no right way, just the fun way.

DIDIDADA is an ever evolving practice heavily influenced by participants and environment.
