DANCE PERFORMANCES IN DÜSSELDORF
Enthusiastic audiences in Düsseldorf can experience truly international contemporary dance performances throughout the year at the impressive Tanzhaus NRW.
Located in a former tram depot just a short walk away from the central railway station, its premises feature eight dance and rehearsal studios as well as two stages.
This highly acclaimed international cultural institution functions as a staging and production venue as well as an academy.
Besides exciting events on stage, the quirky atmosphere of the building and a vibrant restaurant with terrace, the complex offers great interaction with people from all walks of life. International instructors from all over the world inspire their students to investigate the world of music and dance.
In their own words: “Non-professional and professional dancers, choreographers and artists from other genres represent the house’s core: The communal experience of dance under the roof of one single institution. The divisions between highbrow culture, subculture and socio-culture have been overcome at tanzhaus nrw. Creatively dealing with the human body and its role in societies in our present age lies at the heart of it all.”
With guest performances by renowned choreographers and stints by a multitude of regional artists, Tanzhaus NRW is unique in the state capital and enjoys a high international reputation for its concept covering all aspects of modern dance.
