The Space & What We Offer
We want you to arrive, feel at home, and leave refreshed, in body, mind, and spirit. La Casa Del Corpo is a short walk from Lagos city center: an intimate, dedicated movement space where the quality of what happens inside matters more than the size of the room.
At the heart of the studio is an 80m² solid native Portuguese oak dance floor, naturally finished and built for barefoot movement or socks. No shoes. The studio also includes a lounge area, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower, so you can settle in before class or stay a while after.
We offer classes six days a week across contact improvisation, partnered dance, contemporary dance, somatics, aerial yoga, and fitness disciplines, all led by highly qualified, certified facilitators who are individually selected for their expertise and presence.
The studio is also available for workshops, intensives, and private hire. If you’re a facilitator or organizer looking for a conscious movement space in the Algarve, we welcome your inquiry — reach us by WhatsApp or email to start a conversation.
The Foundation (2021–2026)
La Casa Del Corpo is a space that opened in September 2021 with the intention of creating a complete environment where different layers of being can learn, grow, and unfold.
Whether on the mental, philosophical, energetic, or physical level, we offer a wide range of classes and workshops led by certified teachers. From dance to non-violent communication, from strength-based practices to healthy-aging workshops, all the way to energetic work
From the most material to the more etheric, the studio hosts a broad spectrum of proposals, all oriented toward one shared purpose: bringing body and mind into coherence.
The intention behind our offerings is to open horizons for reflection and never to impose a single vision. Professionalism, humility, genuine passion, and a deep commitment to human education and relational presence are the qualities that unite all of our teachers.
The name La Casa Del Corpo is intentionally shaped from different Latin-rooted languages to evoke diversity and inclusivity. This reflects the daily reality of the studio, where we welcome teachers from more than seven different nationalities. Our participants also come from very diverse cultures and locations. They all have one thing in common - wellbeing.

The Next Chapter (2026–)
In June 2026, La Casa Del Corpo began a new chapter.
I came to this studio as a practitioner first: someone whose life has been shaped by embodied movement, partnered dance, and the study of how the body holds identity, memory, and connection. That background informs everything about how I want to steward this space — the quality of teachers we invite, the range of practices we host, and the care with which we hold the people who walk through the door.
The foundation Marine built is not something to move past. It is something to build on. The diversity, the rigour, the commitment to genuine human education — these remain at the centre. What changes is the addition of partnered dance forms to the studio’s regular life, a continued expansion of conscious-event programming, and an ever-wider circle of practitioners finding a home here.
