Sevillanes Workshop at Horta Senior Center

The Casal de Gent Gran d’Horta, a municipal community center in Barcelona’s Horta-Guinardó district, hosts a weekly Sevillanes workshop designed for older adults. Participants learn and practice the traditional Andalusian dance in a supportive, social setting, promoting active aging and community life. The center is open to all neighbors and is recognized as a climate refuge, making it a welcoming space for both regulars and newcomers.

Beyond the dance floor, the casal offers a varied program of health, training, and leisure activities, including talks, hiking, cultural outings, and a monthly women’s circle. The workshop is part of a participatory model where users help organize activities, fostering autonomy and a sense of belonging. It’s a great way to stay active, meet people, and enjoy the vibrant community atmosphere of the neighborhood.
