Join the now already traditional first session of the day that every lucky ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering delegate looks forward to! A perfect way to stretch, relax, yawn, breathe, wake up, and energize, these morning sessions offer a chance to experience what got past participants from the Novi Sad Gathering or Havana World Congress so excited. In between the formal events, watching performances, and sitting in meetings, the Young Dance Network invites you to start your day with movement and breath. Open to all bodies, this soft and gentle wake-up session offers an alternative to the sedentary nature of conferences.

Whether it's a warm-up or a creative way to begin the day, each session is designed to spark connection, provoke exchange, and inspire the global PAYA community. We, YDN dancers, dance makers, and dance teachers, believe dance is for everyone — regardless of abilities, age, or experiences. Dance is a universal language that connects us all, offering benefits to everyone, no matter their background or profession in the world of TYA. To pass this on to future generations, we encourage every delegate to experience it firsthand! Daily!
