a<strong> dance and art laboratory<\/strong>, by the hand of \u00c0lex <strong>Morales<\/strong>, with whom we had the pleasure to talk.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Since she can remember <strong>music has been an essential part of her life<\/strong>, her father has transmitted her his way of understanding life, in the mornings she wakes up with music, she gets in the car and plays music, on trips she plays music, especially folk, rock and Celtic.<\/p>\n\n<p>At the same time, he describes his mother as &#8220;the &#8220;bailonga&#8221; of the family&#8221;, a lover of Latin music, pop, salsa, bachata, merengue.\nFrom a very young age \u00c0lex has had music very present, he also accompanied his mother to aerobics and learned choreographies, but always as a hobby, part of the family environment, since he was four years old he has played soccer.   <\/p>\n\n<p>At the age of 15, his parents signed up for dance classes and it was there that \u00c0lex became even more curious, and months later he signed up to dance with his parents.\nHe learned bolero, waltz and started going to dance halls.   <strong>His great passion, what makes him tick, is Caribbean rhythms, specifically salsa, but also teaching.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow

has also studied Pedagogy.\nCombining his two passions and his interest in social bonding, he decided to found his first dance company, salsa, in Barcelona.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Thus <strong>DanceLab Company<\/strong> was born, the professional body of salsa dancers, of which \u00c0lex is director and choreographer, and a year later the DanceLab School.  <\/p>\n\n<p>While teaching he experienced for the first time the sensation of stepping on stage and describes it as a unique feeling.\n\u00c0lex has continued to train both in Spain and internationally and began competing.   <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>DanceLab is much more than a dance school<\/strong>, a salsa company and a summer school for the little ones: it <strong>is a place to try new things, experiment, create and enjoy<\/strong>, through \u00c0lex&#8217;s philosophy that <strong>&#8220;we live to learn and to play&#8221;.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>Unlike other dance schools, one of the objectives of DanceLab is the <strong>professionalization of Caribbean dances<\/strong>, offering quality training, from the basics and fundamentals, since \u00c0lex detected that in the sector there is still much to do, there are no official qualifications or regulated competitions.  <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div

invites everyone to free themselves from prejudices and shame and to move, he says: &#8220;<strong>In the end, for me, dance or dancing is nothing more than moving, transmitting what you have inside, your emotions and feelings.<\/strong> Now, through technique, through training, through classes, you get more control of your body, more body awareness and therefore get more tools to express yourself better.\nBut that does not mean that, by not dominating your body, you cannot express yourself or you do it badly.\nIn the end the movement is, and it is yours, it does not belong to anyone
