The dancer Isabel Verdini was driven by the birth of her niece Haizea, with Down syndrome, to create a company that has protagonists like her: Verdini Dantza Taldea.

The dancers Nekane Prieto and Nerea Astarbe have no hesitation: they are artists and have the capacity for art. They have also told us that they were applauded and flattered. “They always tell me I dance very well. The other time they gave us flowers,” says Astarbe. They say it has been an opportunity to meet people and make new friends, as they have been dancing together for a while: “We are many on the team. I started when I was 15 and I am 23,” Astarbe said. “I’m 33 and I’ve been around for ten years,” says Prieto. They've added that they prefer to dance in groups rather than individually, because together they all have "more strength."

Likewise, to work on technical and artistic quality, it has been worked in a “serious, rigorous and constant” way. “We run a bit, then we sit on the floor and stretch: we open our legs, we tilt our head to the knees, we do abs…”, the dancers tell us with words and gestures. “We get tired, but it’s worth it.

“The potentialities of art come to everyone. There is a shortage who cannot understand this,” Gaztelumendi.
