OUR FAVOURITE SPORTS
Many people practise cycling because it is easy to do it, you only need a bike. You can go alone but it can be a social sport too. You can go on tour with friends in the park or even on the road when you are an expert. It is very popular among teens, most of us do it in the afternoon or at the weekend.
I have been practising cycling for a long time, since I was little. I do it once a week on the river Besòs. I go there with my friends and we have a good time. Latifa
URBAN DANCE This type of dance is practiced both inside and outside dance studios. There are many different forms like Popping, Groove, Comercial… At a professional level, it is normally practiced by juniors, youth and young adults, since they are the ones who have more years of experience.
I have danced since I was five. Out of these eleven years dancing, I've been competing for nine, at a national level. Dancing is my place of escape, where I most enjoy what I do. Before the pandemic, I did 7h a week, but now I only do 3h a week. I train in Tribu Urbana. Queralt
I have played football since I was a child. I used to play it with my cousins. I even signed up for a team once! Now, I don't practice it so much anymore but sometimes at holidays I play it with my dad. I used to and still have fun playing it! Nerea
