Community dancing outdoors

Community dancing outdoors is a way to get to know the city, its rhythm and people in Berlin through dancing. The first two seminar dates we will meet indoors at the Alice-Salomon-Hochschule to get to know each other through dancing exercises. And to find out together, which possibilities there could be, depending on your interests, to pass an exam in this dance seminar.

After that, we meet again only from May, depending on the weather. I planned to join different free outdoor dance classes in Berlin in parks. We may for example join a dance class called „Folkswiese”, Friday evening at 6.30 p.m. (I planned three times). There you learn easy to difficult circle, row, alley and couple dances to self-played music from all over the world on the lawn of Berlin's Mauerpark in Prenzlauer Berg. In June another free outdoor dancing class starts in Mauerpark on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. There you could learn first steps in Swing dance and Lindy Hop. And on Thursday evenings at 5 p.m. we will definitely join the "Paranza del Tempelhofer Feld" a couple of times – a kind of Tarantella workshop where people meet with a passion for music and dance and for the lively folk culture of southern Italy. Because on Wednesday, 21 June, we will join this group in the afternoon to dance the Tarantella at Kollwitzplatz in Prenzlauer Berg for the Fête de la musique until it ends. It will be a lot of fun, I promise.

So if students want to join this seminar, it is very important to be present at the first two dates (Tuesday, 4.04. and Tuesday, 11.04.2023 from 10-12 a.m. at the Alice-Salomon-Hochschule) so that we can plan the seminar, the possible exams, if needed, and the possible dates of excursions.
