Aacho (‘to arrive’ in Swiss German) is one of the dances created in the Swiss Jura during danse exchange with roughly 30 dancers (Sustainabal 3.0,<\/a> 2022). We can now find it here and there on the European dancefloors… <\/p>\n\n

Description<\/h2>\n\n

This danse is a mixer reusing some elements from traditional swiss dances (for example: balancing, stamping, etc.). We were looking for a group dance without predefined roles where it is easy to get in. We also wanted dancers to be able to express themselves. <\/p>\n\n

There is a small text going with it, which we can roughly translate as follow:<\/p>\n\n

\n

.<\/strong> To arrive. In the dance. In a group. Right now. Just be. Taken in. Accepted. And accepting. It doesn’t matter who is leading. It doesn’t matter who is following. Finding a common rythm. Weighting the calm to find the balance. To find each other. Then celebrate the new connection. Riding through stormy times with an unleashed galop. But don’t loose yourself. Come back to you. Let the group go. Whirl through the dancefloor. Enjoy your own liberty. And start again. Playful. Sensuous. Energetic. Anarchic. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Original (in Swiss German<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n

Aacho.<\/strong> Im Tanz. Inere Gruppe. Im Mom\u00e4nt. Sell eifach sii. Ufgnoh werde. Akzeptiert werde. Und akzeptiere. Egal wer f\u00fcehrt. Egal wer folgt. E gmeinsame Rhythmus finde. Im ruhige Mom\u00e4nt wiege. Zom d Balance finde. Zom is Lot cho. Im gmeinsame Fluss sii. Denn de neui Z\u00e4meschloss fire. Met usglassnigem Galopp. Au dor st\u00f6rmischi Ziite riite. Sech s\u00e4lber debi ned verl\u00fcre. Bi sech s\u00e4lber ahcho. Gruppe losloh. Dord G\u00e4gend wirble. Die individuell Freiheit gn\u00fcsse. Weder vo Vore ahvo. Spielerisch. Sinnlich. Energievoll. Anarchistisch. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Music<\/h2>\n\n

Luca Fiorini composed the first song (thanks!) during the Sustainabal – l’air inconnu<\/a> followed and greatly helped export the dance in Europe. The composition can be found on their last Album, Jamais entendu parler: <\/p>\n\n
