Open Up To Dance is an annual weekend for dance teachers, schoolteachers and youth workers who work with dance, children and young people. This will be our second edition, with the focus on younger children (aged 4 to 12). A variety of teachers will share their favourite practices and experiences during this intensive weekend. The weekend is in two parts: an “Insiders’ meeting” on Saturday afternoon and workshops on Sunday.
April 13 and 14, 2024 it was time again for our inspiring Open Up To Dance festival, in collaboration with Dancing Kids Rosas. We welcomed passionate dance teachers for an instructive gathering in bustling Ghent, where we delved deeper into the theme of space. On Sunday we moved to Brussels, where no fewer than 11 workshops took place, led by a handful of experienced children’s dance teachers such as Justine Reeve and Davide Zazzera.
‘In the Spotlight’ is a platform for dancers, dance teachers and makers to tell just that little bit more about their work. Discover the diversity of the dance landscape
Maakplaats in Ghent offers studio space, coaching, presentation moments and visibility for choreographers, new makers and dancers. Danspunt makes 7 by 7 space for your dance laboratory where you can deepen, innovate and present.
