KUYUM TANZPLATTFORM: Youth Day – Move, Explore, Create!
Join us for a special day of dance and discovery at Kuyum Tanzplattform!
Come and enjoy a special day of dance and new discoveries at the Kuyum Dance Platform! It will be fun and exciting, with everything designed especially for children. This year’s theme is “How the Body Expresses Feelings and Thoughts,” which has Afrocentric roots. African dances have always incorporated the body as a source of emotional and conscious expression. We celebrate the rich connection between movement and inner life, opening the festival with a day dedicated specifically to children.

KUYUM TANZPLATTFORM is a celebration of neo-African dance, a contemporary art form that draws inspiration from the rich movement traditions of dancers of African descent. This Children’s Day is a fantastic opportunity for young people to experience the joy of movement and dance in a supportive and welcoming environment.
We extend a special invitation to children of the African diaspora to discover and take pride in their heritage, through performances that showcase positive and empowering representations.
We aim to provide an inclusive and accessible experience for all children. Please let us know if you have particular needs.
We look forward to extending Kuyum Tanzplattform to all ages!
