I loved the social experience (I met so many lovely people) and the local experience (every lunchtime I ate with Gaspar's family, he didn't just give me a job, he… read more

This is the easiest 5 stars so far! definitively someone worth having as a workaway and a friend. Taylor definitively was a Top Dancer during his stay here, he did a lot of hard worked and shared awesome moments with the dance crew. Very relaxed and easy going person. I can honestly say I learned a lot from him in many different ways. Top Dance… read more

Anybody who has the opportunity to stay in Barranquilla and collaborate with the dancers there absolutely needs to do it. The community there was amazing and within my stay of just 10 days I completely fell in love with Barranquilla and the dancers I worked with, they're more like a family than just dance partners or students. Gaspar is very… read more

Me quedé felizmente una semana en el cuartito al lado del estudio de baile y dí al grupo tres talleres de baile del estilo improvisación de contacto (contact improvisation). Durante la semana podía… read more

Muy bueno Gaspar! No hice voluntariado porque solo estuve por Barranquilla 3 días. Le escribí para saber si podía pasarme por la academia y ver lo que hacían, y sin dudarlo me ofreció una pequeña habitación que tiene allí mismo. Sin duda, muy agradecida.

Amazing stay! Excelent dancegroup! Taught them some breakdance moves, but yeah, such talents!
If you have the possibility ask for the food trailer place in Barranquilla and try (beside his mums') the best patacons you can eat!
P.S. Shakira is from Barranquilla, so it has to be a cool place!
