Contakids invites toddlers and parents to play together, with plenty of movement and contact. By working with the body, movement, and physical contact, parents and children develop a new physical form of communication that is enjoyable for both; children develop and improve their motor skills and self-confidence, and parents develop trust in their child and themselves.
Yuika Hashimoto
She trained at JWCPE, dance education department (Tokyo) and after that at P.A.R.T.S training cycle (Brussels) from which she graduated in 2016. Since then she has performed for Rosas/Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, fieldworks/Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki, and nïm campany/Naïma Mazic.
Her recent artistic research focuses on making a connection between different communities through dance. Therefore the curiosity led her to follow the training of Dance Well in 2024 and Contakids in 2025.
Beside performing on the stage, she has worked as rehearsal director at OVB for Rosas repertoires, and she gives dance workshops at PARTS summer school, WISPER in Leuven. Also at Bindkracht vzw where she works with the metal disability people.
