Dance, health and well-being
From July 3 to 6, 2025 in Girona
Girona en Moviment
Culture in service of health
Girona en Moviment (GeM) is dance, culture and solidarity! A charitable initiative that promotes the art of dance in the province of Girona and raises funds to fight cancer.
Convinced of the intrinsic link between dance and health, internationally renowned artists have been participating since 2017, united for an important cause through performances, conferences, workshops and short film competitions for all types of audiences.
An international gala, the culmination
Every year, an international gala with classical, neoclassical and contemporary dance pieces puts the finishing touch to the four days of activity, bringing together dancers from the main European companies and from other parts of the world.
Today, more than ever, GeM is a tool for social transformation and a space for free expression for everyone, without exception!
An Art Book to Celebrate 10 Years of Girona en Moviment
Celebrate 10 years of dance and solidarity with a unique publication
Next year, Girona en Moviment will celebrate 10 years of commitment to dance, culture, and the fight against cancer. To mark this milestone, we are preparing a very special publication: an art book that not only gathers images and memories, but also captures the spirit of the festival.
With powerful photographs from all editions, inspiring reflections, and testimonies from the artists and audiences who have made this project possible, this book will be a work of art to keep and treasure.
Book it today for only €50 and be an active part of this collective tribute.
Want to go further?
You can make an additional donation to help bring it to life and support its production. Every contribution helps in the fight against cancer and in promoting health through art.
Make it yours. Make it possible.
Program GeM 2025
WORKSHOP: "CREATIVE DANCE"
An activity open to anyone wanting to connect with their body, release tension, and express themselves freely and without judgment. A proposal to let yourself be carried by movement, enjoy the present, and share energy in a group. No prior dance experience was required.
Led by: Mabel Salguero, pedagogue
WORKSHOP: "SENSATIONS THROUGH SCALP AND FACIAL MASSAGE"
Scalp and facial massage offers many benefits, including relaxation, increased blood circulation, reduced stress, skin stretching, and reduced eye fatigue.
This workshop aimed to perform and experience the sensations conveyed through different techniques.
Led by: David Pertegaz, physiotherapist
ACTIVITY: SEX & WINE
A sensory wine tasting in collaboration with a sommelier. A journey through the senses via wine. Each tasting includes a technical review, an erotic narrative, and an exclusive story inspired by each wine. The experience is enhanced by live readings, music, visual projections, and other surprises that make this tasting a unique, original, and unforgettable experience.
Led by Verònica F. Aguirre, Caroline Mowatt from Sex We Wrote, and Marc Vergé from Vins Vidart.
WORKSHOP: "CONSCIOUS LIVING"
What is consciousness? Breathing as a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual tool.
Through breathwork, we connect to rhythm. Being in rhythm is being in the heart.
Learn to shift your perspective of the world. Live in the here and now. Includes grounding meditation.
Led by: Anna Fuentes and Fanny Jiménez, psycho-oncologists
WORKSHOP: "YOGA"
A gentle and mindful practice designed to reconnect with your body and find moments of inner calm, through slow and adapted movements.
Throughout the session, various breathing techniques were also practiced, helping participants focus their minds, regulate their mood, and cultivate a calmer attitude toward everyday life.
Led by: Alba Piñol, teacher of Vinyasa Hatha Yoga, Therapeutic Yoga, and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga
SHOW: "FRUTAL" – MOVEMENT DIARY OF AN ONCOLOGICAL CLOWN
An oncological process often disrupts the flow of your life. Frutal is the comic and deeply personal vision of a breast cancer patient. Frutal is an experiment. Frutal is a statement. It is movement born of delirium – a product of a parallel world.
Great Dance Gala against Cancer
An exceptional evening where the finest dancers from Catalonia and around the world will amaze you with their passion and technique. Soloists from companies such as Béjart Ballet Lausanne and Zürich Ballett will perform classical, neoclassical, and contemporary pieces, including several world premieres.
After the gala, we will enjoy a cocktail/dinner in the Lounge of the Municipal Theatre. A great opportunity to chat with the artists and other guests.
The proceeds from the tickets you purchase go to the Oncolliga Girona Foundation, in support of people with cancer and their families.

HELP SUPPORT GEM
Girona en Moviment creates moments of magic every year by connecting, sharing, inspiring and, above all, helping cancer patients and their families.
TO DO THIS WE NEED EVERYONE'S COLLABORATION.
All proceeds from GeM go directly to the Fundació Oncolliga Girona, a non-profit organization that aims to improve the quality of life of those affected by cancer, as well as promote healthy habits among the general population to prevent this disease.
So what better way to support this cause than to join the mission of dance for health by making a donation?
Organization and team
A committed civil society: Culture and Health go hand in hand
David Rodriguez, dancer, choreographer and cultural manager, launched the solidarity dance initiative against cancer in 2017 that would become GeM, today an unmissable cultural and health event in the city of Girona. Since its foundation, GeM has been organized thanks to the collaboration of two entities:
The Cultura en Moviment Association , which works to revitalize the dance sector in Catalonia and understands culture as a transformative tool, for dialogue and social cohesion. It is made up of different professionals from the cultural sector who invest their time in the artistic direction, programming and production of GeM.
The Oncolliga Girona Foundation , which works to improve the quality of life of cancer patients in the province of Girona and their families, in addition to promoting healthy habits to prevent this disease. All proceeds from GeM activities go to the Oncolliga Girona Foundation. GeM would not be possible without the involvement of its professional team.
