About
The people who made the dance
Global Tarraxo was founded by Gwany, Liliana de Lima and Kizzy. Most festivals book a style. This one comes from the people who shaped it, which is why every edition is built around teaching it properly rather than simply playing it loud.

Code of conduct
Tarraxo is a close connection dance. That makes consent, clear boundaries and the right to decline a dance part of the technique, not an afterthought. Every Global Tarraxo edition runs to a published code of conduct, and the organising team is reachable throughout the weekend.
