IRISdancewear

IRISdancewear Custom handmade dancewear with unique scraps of fabric that I collect when I travel in Asia and Europe. Created in Hong Kong and handmade in London. Online shop.

International free shipping. created IRISdancewear as a platform to share my passion for dance and movement with different communities; and to contribute to draw audiences closer to this powerful art form in a way that reminds us of the importance of being true to our identity and embrace diversity as our most powerful resource as human beings. IRISdancewear designs embrace the uniqueness and dive

rsity of dance as one of the most captivating and fascinating art forms with personalized and handmade garments and accessories. I only use fabric remnants or small amounts of fabric that I personally source when I travel across Asia and Europe. By using dance as a source of inspiration, I give these raw materials a second life by approaching each design depending on the fabrics and ribbons that I had found. All the designs come in very limited editions, because I only use fabric remnants or just a few yards from random fabrics that most of the times I wouldn’t be able to order again. That’s specially the case of my innovative concept of customized dance skirts. They are made to order according to the shopper’s ribbon and fabric of choice to empower self-expression. IRISdancewear also carries a one-of-a-kind collection of balletwear for daughters (and mothers) to encourage individuality as a value that should be nurtured since we are kids. And to foster societies to pass the value of individuality onto today’s children to make sure generations to come embrace diversity in life and in dance. Most of the kids collection items can also be made-to-order in adult sizes, if mothers or sisters want to match their ballet skirts. Professional dancers from the English National Ballet, the National Ballet of Canada, the Royal Danish Ballet, the Dance Theatre of San Francisco and the Hong Kong Ballet have been wearing IRISdancewear designs.

Slowly, slowly getting back into shape... if there is such thing like ‘being in shape’!
Since the beginning of Christmas holidays my body has been asking for rest and a break from my usual movement routines. I listened and I changed my routines and moved differently trying to not get caught by the fear of certain shapes and movements fading away as a result of taking time off!
Covid and lockdowns are teaching me to being better at slowing down and understanding that we can always take a break of something and get back to it with the same determination than before. Or even better: with a new and fresh understanding on what we are actually able to do! And what do we want to really achieve with our energy!
Teachings that allow me to know myself better and that they are extremly helpful when I write my stories and work in growing my own business!

If you are willing to explore, move the body and get a good workout; while at the same time you train your body and mind to work together to make you stronger and more efficient in a way that serves you... Join me on the mat for some fun and inspiring pilates workouts. There is a reason why pilates is known as 😉 come find out!

Lockdown 2.0, Day 24 🌀Creativity 🌀 Creatividad 🌀 Creativitat 🌀
创造力🌀
"The intellect is a great danger to creativity . . . because you begin to rationalize and make up reasons for things, instead of staying with your own basic truth—who you are, what you are, what you want to be. I’ve had a sign over my typewriter for over 25 years now, which reads “Don’t think!” You must never think at the typewriter—you must feel. Your intellect is always buried in that feeling anyway." Ray Bradbury
My professional life and the essence of who I am happens at
the intersection between words and movement. I imagine, create and
communicate through movement and words.
Both movement and words are manifestations of sensations that we feel inside our bodies
and we want to express outside the boundaries of our inner self.
During this second lockdown, I will be collecting one word a day. I will share it in the 4 languages that are an integral part of my identity: my 2 native languages, Spanish and Catalan; and the 2 languages I learnt as an adult living and working abroad, English and Chinese.

Lockdown 2.0, Day 23🌀To flow 🌀Fluir 🌀 Fluir 🌀 流动 🌀
The powerful force of the flow of life, which is also another perspective on how to manage the energy that allows us to fight for what we want and for who we are.

In China, the number ‘6 六’ (liù) is considered a number of good luck because its pronunciation is very similar to the word ‘flow’ (liú). In fact, flow is a crucial concept in traditional Chinese culture. It has its foundations in the principles of Daoism. In this context, our existence is understood as a circular motion made of the decisions we make in life.

Under this approach, a linear progress is not possible because there is no room for linear goals. Flow calls for our innate ability to be spontaneous and to trust our intuition under a process of learning about life and connecting with the essence of our unique being. If we cultivate it, we will often be able to live in balance, facing unpredictable obstacles of daily life without having too many expectations.

Lockdown 2.0, Day 22 🌀Progress 🌀 Progreso 🌀 Progrés 🌀 进展🌀

Progress is a complex concept. It embodies a big leap forward. It leaves the past behind to make space for growth and fresh expectations for the future. Progress becomes an index to measure success and it only understands movement in on direction: forward. More, more and more.

One of the side effects of progress is that it is contributing to the dehumanization of our societies and the loss of basic human values such as intuition, the consciousness, the ability of being in the present moment and the importance of our personal and collective identity. The volatile expectations of achieving certain symbols of progress as guarantors of happiness have alienated the human being from the pillars of humanity.
