K-Pop Dance Festival

The festival sees itself as a platform for artistic and cultural exchange between Korean and German dance.

It creates an open space where artists, audiences, and different dance traditions can meet and engage with one another.
In an era in which art forms, genres, and cultures are increasingly interconnected, the festival brings together traditional and contemporary dance forms as well as diverse physical expressions. Its focus is not only on presenting individual performances, but also on fostering a living dialogue in which Korean and German dance can inspire and enrich one another. The aim of the project is to build bridges, open new perspectives, and make dance tangible as a connecting language between people, cultures, and generations.

Programm:

July 17th / K-Pop Dance FestivalThe final-stage K-pop dancers selected through a nationwide open call in Germany will compete in a festival-style finale. The list of finalists advancing to the final round will be announced separately.
