This monthly workshop series is designed to bring whirling enthusiasts together, making it a shared and evolving experience. It is open to advanced whirlers and complete beginners, bringing together movement, connection, and community.   Each month, Ziya Azazi and guest teachers will guide participants through an immersive two-day workshop, integrating techniques, self-discovery, and the joy of whirling. Through this, we are making Vienna the meeting point for whirlers from around the world!   If you’re new to spinning, we will guide you step by step, sharing everything you need to start feeling comfortable and confident in your movement.   OUR 1+1 SPECIAL INVITATION If you’re already an experienced DIP whirler, you are welcome to join alone, but – event better – bring a beginner for free, whether it’s a friend, a loved one, or someone completely new to whirling. This is a great chance to introduce them to the practice and expand the whirling community together! One fee covers both you and your guest.   WHAT TO EXPECT IN EACH WORKSHOP? Warm-up & preparation exercises – Connecting with body and breath. Technical refinement – Helping advanced whirlers deepen their practice. Introduction for beginners – A structured, welcoming start for new participants. Long whirling sessions – Accompanied by a variety of musical selections.

Her whirling journey began in 2007, and she has been performing intensely for the past decade. Teaching whirling regularly, Dervish in Progress became her primary approach seven years ago. Her sessions focus on creativity, self-expression, and emotional depth, helping participants explore their movement with greater awareness.   Anna Rita Cedroni Anna Rita is an Italian dancer, movement instructor, manager, and architect. With a background in classical ballet, she developed a unique approach to the performing arts, integrating contemporary dance with Butoh, Axis Syllabus, and Dervish in Progress (DIP). She works as a producer for various dance companies while performing and dramaturging across Europe. After intensive study, she completed the DIPTEP (Teaching Educational Program/Core Data) and now integrates Sport Sciences into her practice, embracing Dervish Dance as a path to embodied awareness and transformation.   Contact, Registration & Questions Ziya Azazi | dervishinprogress@gmail.com | WhatsApp: +43 660 5860660 Anna Rita Cedroni | ritainmotion4art@gmail.com | WhatsApp: +43 650 6467746 Jacqueline Frick | info@rahil.ch | WhatsApp: +41 76 2333477
