Dear audience,
It is hard to believe that the year is already coming to an end. 2025 was another year in which social and political tensions challenged us.
We remain firmly convinced that, especially in the current climate, art and culture are immensely important. Dance in particular opens up spaces in which encounters remain possible and a sense of community can be experienced beyond national or ideological boundaries. This was demonstrated once again by 18.800 curious, open, and enthusiastic visitors to Tanz im August 2025.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for 2025 and wish you and your loved ones a wonderful and restful end to the year, as well as a happy and healthy start to the New Year. Stay confident!
By the way: Planning for the 2026 festival edition has already begun. We’ll be revealing the first details soon…
