Community through movement

A dance that connects

Biel tanzt

Background

Many people, especially children and young people, are confronted with a lack of community-building experiences in today's digitalised society. Furthermore, such experiences are often not accessible to everyone.

Our approach

Biel Tanzt offers a framework in which people can experience positive and unique community moments by learning and performing a simple dance performance together.

Hol Biel dances to you

Schools, homes for the elderly, collective accommodation for asylum seekers - whatever the setting: Biel Tanzt promises a sense of achievement and a sense of community. Workshops and events are expected to take place again from 2024/2025.

This is how it works

We are coming to you

We visit an institution over the course of a day or several days.

 

Practise, practise, practise

We rehearse the choreography together.

Performance

The dance is performed in front of an audience at a pre-arranged event (internal or external).

It was wonderful and fantastic. There are no words to describe it.

- David Maeder, BBZ teacher
