In the organizer's words:
Dance evenings of the graduating classes of national and international dance training institutes
Two evenings, one stage, national and international training institutions - and diverse perspectives on the dance of tomorrow.
As part of the 10th Biennale Tanzausbildung 2026 Berlin, the graduating classes of German state-recognized dance training institutions and invited guest institutions from abroad will present their latest artistic works. They will open the anniversary edition of the national competition and bring a lively panorama of contemporary dance art to the stage - full of diversity, curiosity and the courage to move.
Under the motto "Variation - Precision and Boundlessness", classical and contemporary styles, individual styles and choreographic concepts will come together. The stage becomes a space for exchange and encounters, where different body images, aesthetics and forms of expression combine to create an intensive dialog.
