A world of dances
The programme of Andanças takes us on a journey through different sounds and rhythms. We are getting to faraway places but feeling at home all the same. 
The journey begins with the discovery of the Iberian culture learning Fandangos and Galician dances. It brings us to its cultural relatives of Latin music like Tangos, Milongas, Bachatas and Colombian dances. We move on northwards to try Swing, Lindy Hop, Jazz, Balboa and tap dance. And we return to lusophone influences with Brazilian rhythms like Samba, Forró, Coco, Xote, Baião, Maracatu and Capoeira. The journey takes us on to Africa with Funanás, Sembas, Kuduros, Kizombas, Coladeiras, Tarrachinhas and tribal dances. On the way to the orient we dance some Turkish dances and get to discover ancient classic dances from India.  
Changing direction we arrive in Europe to the try circle dances of the Balkans, the furious Italian dances or more traditional repertoires with Waltz, Mazurka, Polska, Scottish, Circassian circles, Bourrées, Andros and many more. Finally we return to Portugal, covering the country from North to South and not forgetting the islands either. We (re-)discover and (re-)invent roots and identities, dancing Corridinhos, Valsas Mandadas, Chamarritas, Viras, Malhões, Repasseados and many more. The world is dancing, and despite the vast distances there are connections hidden which make us think about the borders we create and the bridges we build.
