Conducted in a follow-along style and guided improvisation, it is a celebration of nonsensical play. DIDIDADA prioritizes accessibility and silliness to give your mind, body, and spirit a sparkly mega boost through a variety of multidisciplinary exercises. It is about catharsis, getting back into our bodies, and simply dancing for the joy of moving through hyper warm-ups, routines, and prompts. Instruction is inspired by Caribbean dance styles, dance fitness, somatic movement practices, and self-proclaimed rituals.

Coco Villa is a Jamaican-Colombian American dancer, interdisciplinary artist and educator from Queens, living in Brooklyn, New York. They lead an art-research practice, influenced by analog photography and dance, investigating relations between body, object, and landscape. Their work spans across disciplines of performance, fashion design, installation, photography, and film. They utilize material and movement languages to tell autobiographical stories, explore human intimacy, and build familial archives through self-portraiture and choreography. Driven by historical and scientific discovery, Villa thrives in the ocean, in the woods, in the dance studio, photo and design lab, film set and library, playfully creating by hand.
