LIBRE DE BAILAR PROJECT

We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of three editions of the "Libre de Bailar" project in Latin America. This initiative was carried out online and was proudly promoted and organized by NMB Peru, in collaboration with all NMB affiliates across the region.

The primary objective of the project was to provide valuable learning opportunities for individuals passionate about DanceSport in Latin America. Through the collective efforts of NMB Peru and its dedicated partners, free online training sessions were offered to all NMB members in the region. These training sessions aimed to enhance skills, foster growth, and promote the overall development of DanceSport.

One notable aspect of the "Libre de Bailar" project was the collaboration with distinguished speakers who graciously shared their expertise. These renowned experts volunteered their time and knowledge to contribute to the advancement of DanceSport in Latin America. Their selfless commitment has been instrumental in creating a vibrant learning environment and fostering a sense of community among NMB members.

As we reflect on the success of these three editions, we extend our gratitude to NMB Peru, all participating NMB affiliates, and the esteemed speakers who have played a crucial role in making this project a reality. The "Libre de Bailar" project stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and the dedication of the DanceSport community in Latin America. We look forward to continued initiatives that promote education, skill development, and the flourishing of DanceSport in the region
