CLASSES, LAYOUT EN
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.

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!

“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.

This workshop invites children to imagine beings from other worlds and realities—each one different, unique, and magical. Through playful movement games, they explore what it feels like to be human, animal, plant, or something entirely new. Using simple natural materials like sticks, fabrics, and soft textures, children invent hybrid creatures and experiment with extraordinary shapes, discovering new ways of moving and being. Together, they create stories, habitats, and tiny ecosystems, communicating through rhythm, gesture, and imagination. The workshop encourages curiosity, celebrates difference, and gently introduces themes like queer identity and being unique, all in a safe, joyful space where every child can transform, express themselves, and explore the limitless possibilities of body and imagination.
DATES
Sat, 21.02. & Sun, 22.02.26
Group 1 children ages 4-7: 2-3 pm
Group 2 older children ages 8-12: 3-4 pm

This creative dance workshop for families invites us to explore movement and play as ways to connect and imagine together. Inspired by the idea of forming hybrid communities, we let our bodies transform into fantastic beings that emerge from our own creativity. Using simple organic materials such as sticks, fabrics and natural textures, we experiment with shapes, weights and rhythms to invent new creatures and shared worlds. Through guided proposals, children and adults discover their individual movement and then open it to communication with others—moving alone, in pairs and in groups. The workshop offers a joyful, safe and playful environment where every body can express itself freely, expand its imagination, and enjoy the pleasure of dancing together. It is an invitation to curiosity, cooperation and the shared creation of a small, temporary universe made of bodies, nature and imagination.
DATE
Fri, 20.02.26 | 4:30 – 6 pm
There will be a follow-up weekend workshop on February 21 and 22, 2026 called We are human, animal and vegetal.
