Dance lovers in Bruges, join DANSSTORM!
Put on your dance shoes and let us hear from you! Whether you dance alone or with a group, whether you have a dance project going or you simply feel like dancing. Breakdance, tango, salsa, dabke, line dance, hip-hop, dancehall… DANCE STORM wants you to join in this city festival.
DANSSTORM?
From May 16th to 18th, 2025, the festival will take over the city of Bruges with dance. You’ll find DANSSTORM in Astridpark, in the streets, and at beautiful and unique locations throughout the city. Expect both existing and new dance performances, workshops, introductions, and showcases. We invite all Bruges residents to taste, feel, watch, breathe, experience, and dance for themselves.
But of course, we’re not organizing a festival for Bruges residents alone! We would love it if you, as a dance-loving Bruges resident, also bring a dance (idea) to the forefront on Saturday, May 17th, or Sunday, May 18th. Be an active part of the program and put your dance on the map!
Why take part?
- During DANSSTORM, Bruges will be all about dance for an entire weekend. This is the perfect moment to put yourself, your dance school or group, your organization, or association in the spotlight for a broader or new audience.
- Your initiative will be included in the DANSSTORM program. On our website, your project will have its own page with space for promotional texts, practical information, photos, and more.
- In the weeks leading up to the festival, we will launch a promotional campaign in collaboration with Cultuurcentrum Brugge and Dans in Brugge.
- If you register your initiative by April 1st, 2025, it will also be included in our program booklet, which will be distributed in the days leading up to and during the festival itself.
- During DANSSTORM, we will send out our festival photographers. Afterwards, you’ll receive these images, which you can use for your own promotional materials.
- And last but not least, the good vibes of a dance festival in your own city—this is something you won’t want to miss!
How do we make this happen together?
- We organize a fantastic festival weekend, supported by Bruges partners. You’re excited to turn your dance idea into reality 🙂 Together, we will put dance from Bruges on the map!
- You take care of the organization; we handle the communication.
- You’ll register your initiative (from January 2025) on our website before the festival begins. If you do this before April 1st, 2025, your initiative will also be included in the program booklet distributed during the festival.
