“Dance in all its facets, on the stage on the market square, for free and outside

Summer in motion: the popular dance festival ‘Dancing in the Streets’ is taking place again this year, transforming Bremen’s market square into an open-air dance floor. Many of those who make Bremen a versatile dance city will come together on the outdoor stage. In addition to the Of Curious Nature company, other dancers from the Hanseatic city and the surrounding area will be taking part. With a range of traditional dances from different cultural organisations to a variety of contemporary dance styles, the participants from all generations have already delighted audiences in previous years. That will be the case again this year. This time, dance fans and city walkers can also look forward to a special new highlight: several groups of diverse dance styles and dance cultures will come together under the direction of professional dancer Leila Bakhtali and present a joint choreography that will be premiered at ‘Dancing in the Streets’. In a fusion of styles, they make a strong and very Bremen statement in favour of cohesion in a diverse community.

The acts on the open-air stage begin with a look behind the scenes, a public training session by the professionals from Of Curious Nature. Afterwards, the city’s dance schools and various dance groups will present the breadth of their work. Also on the road again is the is the popular walking act Gassi Gäng.

With Dancing in the Streets, TanzRAUM Nord and steptext dance project, in cooperation with the Landesverband TanzSzene Bremen, show how dance can be integrated into every day and every place, thus sensually expanding our living environments. The audience stops or sits down, watches and enjoys, or moves on after brief moments, more exhilarated than before.”
