Dance in sociocultural centres

Not every sociocultural centres include dance in their programme, but some of them set dance as a particular focus in artistic projects and performance practice. Sociocultural centres in Baden-Württemberg dedicate themselves to contemporary dance (as opposed to classical ballet) and its many varieties. They are competent partners for independent groups and artists and they organize workshops for and with dancers and choreographers. They arrange their premises for many different purposes: as rehearsal room, production place, place for premieres, and performance place. They support dance professionals on technical matters or public relations and they offer their expertise in researching and applying for funds.
