[D]OPEN YOUR MOVE mini festival - 2-3 May

#OpenToAll #UrbanMeetsContemporary #allstylesbattle

The third Hungarian gathering of urban and contemporary dance at Trafó! Two days where differences fade, and the passion for movement takes center stage. Here everyone has a place, and every movement matters.

Organized by Collective Dope, this festival is all about openness and aims to bring together dancers of all ages, styles, and backgrounds. 

On 2 May, you are invited to join two inspiring workshops, an inclusive jam, and an open discussion exploring the connection between dance styles and inclusivity in dance. More details and registration 

On 3 May, whether as a dancer or as a spectator, you can immerse yourself in an electrifying dance battle where contemporary, modern, urban, and hip-hop dancers come together. The battle is not only about competition, the real goal is learning, connecting, and building an open-minded community.
More details and registration

The festival is fully accessible and open to everyone.
