The artistic collective REMYS, comprising eleven dancers and led by Gran Canarian choreographer Néstor Aguirre, has turned Santa Brígida into a meeting point for urban dance in the Canary Islands. Founded in 2024, the group has rapidly gained national recognition for winning competitions like Rock Da House and February Hip Hop, alongside their visually striking audiovisual productions.

REMYS's artistic proposal draws inspiration from Nigerian artist Rema, developing a contemporary 'afrofusion' line that merges various urban disciplines with a distinct scenic and narrative identity. This philosophy underpins the REMYS Gran Canaria Dance Event, an initiative aiming to become a leading training reference in the islands.

For three days, the Villa Cultural Center, managed by the Culture Department of the Santa Brígida City Council, is hosting intensive workshops led by the collective's members. The aim is to introduce these cultures and styles respectfully, avoiding cultural appropriation and fostering a conscious learning environment.

The sessions combine technical work with theoretical content on the origins of each style. The program featured Hip Hop Foundation with Nanthaz Maschat, Legworks from Nigeria and Naija Fusion with Lucio Obama, and will conclude with Angolan Afrohouse directed by Laia Herrera.

The event culminates on Friday, May 22nd, with the REMYS Showcase at 8:15 PM in the Cultural Center. This performance will exhibit the afrofusion technique defining the group's artistic identity, inspired by the musical and scenic world of Rema. The programming was designed by the Councilor for Culture, Avelina Fernández Manrique de Lara.
