Tanztage Berlin 2026 — 30 Years of Dance Platform

The 2025 edition was already marked by the upcoming anniversary, preparing for the double celebration of 30 years of Tanztage / Sophiensæle. Young artists showcased their first or second Berlin stage works within a framework that consistently prioritizes emerging artist support over commercial logic. The festival remained in its essence what Tanztage has been since 1996: a concentrated January kickoff for the Berlin dance scene, dependent on the curatorial model and the Senate's funding policy — and where the audience can see which generation is currently working on the city's choreographic language.
