Dancing Under the Open Sky
Emden tanzt follows a simple and inviting concept: the Astrid Löschen Dance School, an established name for ballroom dancing in Emden, moves a dance evening outdoors. Instead of a closed dance hall, the Neuer Markt becomes the dance floor. Anyone who wishes to come is welcome – whether as an experienced dancing couple, a beginner with no experience, or simply as a spectator wanting to enjoy the atmosphere.
Program and Dance Styles
The dance program includes classic ballroom and Latin dances: Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Cha-Cha-Cha, Rumba, Jive. In between, popular disco classics and line dance sequences will also be played, which can be joined without prior knowledge. Dance instructors will provide short introductions and tips, so beginners can join in immediately.
Atmosphere and Audience
The event is aimed at all age groups, from young adults to seniors. The atmosphere is open, casual, and accessible. Seating areas at the edge of the dance floor allow for breaks and spectating. The event is part of the Emden Summer of Culture 2026 and complements the other open-air events of the summer.
Admission and Arrival
Admission is free, and registration is not required. The Neuer Markt is within walking distance of all city center areas. In case of very unfavorable weather, the event may be relocated or postponed; information will be available on the website emden-touristik.de and from the dance school.
Emden Dances — edition 2026
The concept of the event – an open-air dance floor in the city center with dance school accompaniment – has proven successful in previous years and will continue in 2026. The dance school provides musical and choreographic support; the city provides the space and infrastructure (lighting, sound, seating).
