Body Moving

Contemporary dance escapes the confines of the black box and takes over the streets of Budapest. Whether you would like to learn a few dance moves, experiment with different techniques or are simply content to bump into a random choreography on a street corner and enjoy the action, don’t miss the season-opening Body Moving events!
 

Body Moving
 

The organisers launched Body Moving with the rhythm of the infamous Beastie Boys song echoing in their ears, determined to make the city of Budapest dance... This year will be the first edition of this season-opening event that aims to introduce contemporary dance to new audiences by making it a part of our everyday lives and taking it out into the open.
Body Moving is a programme series including Dance For All, free dance classes in the green park of Gödör Club and Dance Commando, a series of interventions in public space, presenting a wide range of Hungarian choreographers and companies.
