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
