The CCD Oriental de São Martinho, from Covilhã, organized this Saturday night, 9th of January, in the sports hall of the community, the fourth edition of the Gimnorítmico festival. That initiative combined movements taken from gymnastics and dance as well. Took part of this event, CCD Oriental de São Martinho, GIR do Rodrigo, Grupo Desportivo da Mata, In Corpore Sano Ginásio and Grupo do Barco, had to deal with step, aerobics, dance fusion or hip hop. Performed persons with no age limit, from children to grown-ups, the main purpose being to entertain the audience and to share the joy that they feel when they dance.

The vice-president of Oriental de São Martinho, Francisco Mota, declared that “because the organization has good relationships with the other collectives that took part at the event, it is very easy to organize something like this. We got in contact with INATEL, with the groups and we set a date for the event and, in broadly, that was it.”

The Oriental de São Martinho has a lot of ongoing projects. The next major one will be a musical that will be right up on the stage on April, 2010. Even if the money is missing, Francisco Mota believes that “with a lot of determination, everything will be possible”.

The Gimnorítmico festival ended in a warm and mirthfully atmosphere, with champagne, cookies and joy and was supported by the representatives of the city hall, as well as by the INATEL foundation.
