The Tanzzentrale der Region Nürnberg e.V. is offering a pre-trip titled “Into the Bavarian Woods” during which the participants have the opportunity to gain an insight into the work of dance professionals of the Nürnberg region and come into contact with local artists. As part of a pitching session, selected choreographers from the Nürnberg dance scene will present excerpts from current and new pieces in the Tafelhalle.
