My Mission
Meet Camila
Camila Chicon is an Afro dancer, therapeutic dance facilitator and a yoga teacher. She understands dance as a connection with ourselves, others and nature.
Her first approach to african dance was in 2010 in Argentina with Latin American African dance. Since 2012, she has specialized in traditional West African dance and rhythms. Recently, she visited Ghana where local teachers taught her traditional dance, songs and drumming.
Since November 2017, she has lived on Waiheke Island where she facilitates community dance classes where she combines different techniques of traditional west african dance, conscious body training, improvisation, therapeutic dance, yoga and expressive movement. She believes that the embodied self held in a conscious, contemplative, and non-judgmental environment will lead us to re-establish the connection and unity between mind and body. In this state, we can increase our wakefulness and make our actions more conscious and contributive to our well-being and with the ultimate goal of creating a better world.
Also, she leads a performance group of African dance and drumming called Afriky.
Camila and her team have facilitated workshops and performances at multiple festivals and events throughout New Zealand. She offers regular dance and yoga classes in Auckland area.
