Idar-Oberstein dances!

With the "Idar-Oberstein tanzt!" series, the Department of Culture aims to establish contemporary dance in the city's event program and create a lively, inspiring dance community with broad local participation. The Sebastian Weber Dance Company from Leipzig has been secured as a cooperation partner for this. The formation, which was awarded the Saxon Dance Prize in 2019, is continuously involved in the "Idar-Oberstein tanzt!" program, both with its own show programs and with workshops.

The "Idar-Oberstein tanzt!" series is funded by Tanzland - Programme for Guest Performance Cooperation via the German Federal Cultural Foundation in order to make the diversity of contemporary dance visible beyond the established dance centers. Idar-Oberstein is thus the first municipality in Rhineland-Palatinate to receive funding from the cultural foundation.
