I thoroughly recommend this festival to anyone who is interested in looking beyond the boundaries of traditional dance styles and trying something new. My only regret was that there were not enough hours in the day to do everything I would have liked to do. Friendly, relaxed and stimulating, Sirocco offers the perfect opportunity to explore our creative energy and the spirit of dance within.
