Dance Festival Göttingen 2026: Two Days Full of Movement, Encounters, and Stage Moments
On October 31st and November 1st, 2026, the Dance Festival Göttingen will transform the region into an open movement space for dance enthusiasts, curious beginners, and experienced dancers. The contemporary festival combines workshops, training sessions, and performances into a free multi-day experience with a lively festival atmosphere.
Workshops Between Hip-Hop, Breakdance, and Contemporary
The festival kick-off on Saturday will take place all day at the Jahnsporthalle on Bürgerstraße. The schedule includes Hip Hop, Breakdance, Contemporary Dance, Afro House, and Improvisation. Different dance styles will come together, creating space for new moves, personal expressions, and collective learning.
Workshops and training will begin at 9:30 AM. Participation is free, but registration is required at tanzfestival.goe@gmx.de. The program is aimed at people with varying levels of experience and invites them to further develop their movement language.
Performance Who killed Bambii? in the Display Window of Möbelino
On Saturday evening at 7:30 PM, the performance Who killed Bambii? will take center stage at the festival. The piece will be shown in the display window of Möbelino in Göttingen, bringing contemporary dance to an unusual urban performance space. The special setting creates intimacy, visibility, and direct contact between the audience and the dance event.
Festival Finale at the Watermill Friedland
On Sunday, the dance festival will move to Friedland. More workshops and training sessions will be offered at the Watermill Friedland starting at 10:00 AM. The venue is located only about a five-minute walk from Friedland train station and combines a historic atmosphere with an open cultural format.
At 7:00 PM, Who killed Bambii? will return in a changed environment. The same piece in a different location opens up new spatial and atmospheric perspectives and serves as the artistic highlight of the second festival day.
Festival Atmosphere and Community Feel
The Dance Festival Göttingen focuses on participation rather than distance. In workshops, training sessions, and performances, a community feeling develops that brings together various scenes of dance culture. The festival organization combines athletic energy, artistic curiosity, and the openness of a local cultural project.
From the first joint choreography to the focused moment before the performance, a diverse dance program unfolds. The mix of main program, workshop formats, and unusual performance locations makes the festival an experience for active dancers as well as for curious audiences.
