Das beste deutsche Tanzsolo / Best German dance solo
1st round – Part I
This popular competition comes from Ghent, where, under the title “De Beste Belgische Danssolo”, it was held three times, 1995-97, under the direction of the Flemish choreographer Alain Platel. In Leipzig it took place from 1997-2017 and within the Tanzplattform Deutschland (Dance Platform Germany) 2002. It was such a big success that it will now be presented biennially for the 14th time.
The barriers between professionals and amateurs have been lifted. The criteria are independence, creativity, charisma and individuality. Training, style, age and nationality have no bearing. Following an internal pre-selection, the dancers will perform their solos of 5 minutes length in front of the audience and the jury on a circular table with a diameter of 7 meters. The first three winners will be awarded prize moneys of € 1,500, € 1,000 and € 500. The winner of the audience award will be chosen by the spectators.
