IN MEMORIAM Harry Gieskens On 20 July 2010 a special man passed away: Harry Gieskens. On his 75-th age, with heavy Parkinson, he participated weekly more than 3 years with the special Salsa lessons at Dos Bailadores for people with Parkinson's disease, together with his wife Loes. He was and still is an enormous source of inspiration for everybody. He showed the importance to keep moving and how dancing brought a lot of fun, despite his physical limitations. He danced with Olga Commandeur, came on television and posed in the Volkskrant: click here for the article Your co-course members, Leo, Monique and Morry |

Dos Bailadores course member on tv-program Spoorloos
Chilean dancing queen Caroline is a real dancing queen and her big passion
is Latin American dance. That is not a coincidence as she has Chilean roots.
Her mother Ineke and her ex partner travelled to Chile to adopt her as
a baby. Since she was still young, Caroline is passionated with her Chilean
background and she decided to contact Spoorloos.
Spoorloos came to have a look in the dance school, to see where Caroline
finds her expression in dance. A beautiful broadcast about Caroline and
her roots!
