Swing Dance is a partnered social dance originated in Harlem, New York (USA) and was especially popular throughout the 1920s-1950s. It's a partnered social dance based on leading and following, and danced to jazz music from the same era (mainly Big Band swing). It's a very fun and diverse dance, including many elements combined in a free improvisational manner.

Today many swing dancers all around the world enjoy dancing various styles, including Charleston, Lindy Hop, Shag, Balboa and a few others. On Tuesdays the BRICKS hosts Lindy Hop classes and party, and now on Sundays we introduce another swing style called BALBOA. Balboa is a type of Swing dance, originated in Southern California during the 1920s and 1930s and gained in popularity in the 1930s and 1940s. It is danced primarily in close embrace to upbeat swing music. This dance is fully improvisational and can be quite energetic yet elegant.

Mazik Duo

The friendship between the two performers, who make up MazikDuo, existed prior to the duo's creation. Tolo Genestar (clarinet) and Marc Susmi (piano), both born in 1991 graduated the Conservatori Superior del Liceu de Barcelona in 2013, where Marc was garlanded with first prize at the end of his degree. Their respective teachers were Isaac Rodríguez and Miquel Ferrer.

With the aim of polishing their musical prowess, Tolo continued his studies at the National Conservatory in Nice (France) and Marc went on to specialize as a harpsichord player in the ESMuC. They have both gone on to win many prizes as soloists, Tolo was presented with first place in the Arjau 2015 clarinet prize and a place in the final at the International Birkfeld competition in 2015 in Austria, however, his greatest achievement came in 2016 when he was awarded the Special UNESCO prize in Barcelona. As a result of this, he went on to tour Mozart's K622. Meanwhile, Marc was also presented with the first prize in both Vilafranca and in the Early Music competition in Toulouse (2016).

Jewish Life came into being just after this period studded with personal successes. It is the point at which maturity, stylistic prowess, and ambition have all merged to open up new horizons. It premiered at the Teatre Principal de Maó in 2016 and then in Mallorca, Ibiza, Catalonia, Andalusia and Madrid where it has performed in the prestigious Juan March Foundation Hall. Mazik Duo culminates his project with the recording of Jewish Life, portraits of the past (2017) by the record label Temps Record S.L. and with the support of Institut d’Estudis Baleàrics.
