Dance meeting of the youth
The Tanztreffen der Jugend is a nationwide dance competition for young dance ensembles in schools, from free contexts or groups connected to free or professional (dance) theater. It has been held annually since 2014. In addition to the Theatertreffen der Jugend , the young music scene and the young writers' meeting , the competition is organized by the Berliner Festspiele on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research .
Course of the competition
Choreographic works by and with young people, in which their attitudes and perspectives become clear, are eligible for application. An expert jury first makes an interim selection from all submissions; the final selection is made after visits to performances and discussions with the ensemble. The tendering phase for the competition starts in October each year and is announced on the Berliner Festspiele website. The selection process will be completed by the end of March of the following year.
Prices
The price for the selected ensembles is participation in the dance meeting of young people in Berlin. The focus of the meeting is on the public performances of the selected productions. In addition, the youth dance meeting offers an extensive accompanying program of workshops, discussions and performance talks between the young dancers and artistic-pedagogical experts.
Forum
The forum of the dance meeting bundles all offers that are aimed at choreographers and educators.
