    ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

    Join Miguel Almario for a behind-the-scenes look into his upcoming choreographic project for Velocity’s Bridge Project 2026. This workshop dives into the physicality, endurance, and communal energy of street and club dance—where cyphers, battles, and jams shape how we move, share, and connect. Participants will explore improvisation, and movement exchange. This session also serves as an informal audition for dancers interested in joining the creative process. All styles and backgrounds are welcome; curiosity, openness, and a willingness to move are the only requirements.ABOUT MIGUEL ALMARIO 

    Miguel Almario is a Seattle-based dance artist and educator whose work bridges street and club dance traditions with strength training, injury prevention, and cultural education. His practice grows from the social roots of street and club dance forms created by Black and Brown communities whose creativity continues to shape global culture. Guided by the belief that dance is first and foremost about people, Miguel aims to build spaces where dancers can train with purpose, care for their bodies, and rediscover the joy of movement in community.
    As co-founder of The Arete Project, he designs programs that bridge physical training, injury prevention, and cultural education–Helping dancers sustain both their art and their wellbeing. Miguel's teaching and collaborations span internationally, including Åsa Folkhögskola (Sweden), Foundation Hip Hop Academy (Amsterdam), and InDaHouse UK. Through his work, Miguel centers people before steps, and honors the communities and people that these forms come from while passing on tools that keep their spirit alive for new generations.
