Dance Alive is a holistic dance class that views the human being as a whole. Body, emotion, and spirit belong together, and that is exactly how the class is structured.
We work physically on strength, flexibility, and coordination (kinetic). We experience community, expression, and emotional connection in the group (emotional). And we promote creativity, creativity, and conscious understanding of movement (cognitive). Dance Alive is suitable for everyone, regardless of age or dance experience.
It’s not about perfection, but about liveliness. You’ll become fitter, freer, and feel more in touch with yourself again.And you’ll experience how good it feels to move together.
DATES Thursdays, each session runs from 6 pm to 7:30 pm (except April 30, which runs from 7 pm to 8:30 pm)
When it hasn′t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but
I′ll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I’ll be there for you
Like I′ve been there before
I’ll be there for you
Cause you’re there for me too
We have all had a best friend at some point. A person we tell everything to, who we text or call when something good or bad happens.
In this workshop, we will explore through dance what connects us to our friends. Can friendship be found in our bodies? How much closeness and distance do we need? And how much strength do we find in our friendships?
The workshop is aimed at all young people between the ages of 13 and 20, with or without dance experience. Together, we will discover how to approach the topic through dance. Bring your best friend!

ABOUT THE ARTIST Judith Niggehoff initiates and accompanies artistic processes as a form of expression and education for young people in her roles as dance and theater educator, choreographer, and director. She has developed numerous productions with young people at Schauspiel Köln and Theater Marabu. Together with Sophie Halcour and Saliha Shagasi, she is part of KONNECTIVE. A performance collective whose artistic focus is on social issues that are explored from an intersectional feminist perspective.
“I can deepen my contact with myself and my fellow dancers, I can be positively curious again. I feel included, not excluded – that’s priceless. And because the world is the way it is, we as those affected need to reinforce these positive feelings again and again, recharge our batteries and enjoy them. This is possible in dance training at the ehrenfeldstudios!”
(Ulrike Borchers, Dance & Parkinson’s participant)
Under the guidance of Silke Z., we intensify our own body awareness in search of new possibilities for movement. We work playfully with individual dance expression and our own creativity.
A project by Elisabeth Habel in cooperation with ehrenfeldstudios.
For ALL with and without previous experience. For ALL with Parkinson’s. For relatives and interested parties.

For whom are cowboys actually still sexy? In the night we have become REAL men. Or heroes? We cry under the beer table and one thing is for sure: the fries in the swimming pool are fattier than my bum. Someone had to win the mating dance. And lose the antler fight. Sure, the two of us can be a band.
Die Nacht in der wir Männer wurden is an entertaining evening of physical theater with a night-life vibe, drag and original live music that explores positive forms of modern masculinity. From a non-binary and trans*-masculine perspective, the (i)dentityteam questions what masculinity actually is and how we want to be masculine. The artists use a wide range of artistic elements such as movement, choreography, music, stand-up comedy, acting and, of course, drag! You can expect a humorous, artistic and raw deep dive into the open-air pool of identity formation, puberty, coming-outs and transition. There are songs about feelings and male roles in relationships; there are cowboys, swimwear and courtship dances; and above all, there is one important question: Is this masculine now?
