TanzZeit initiates artistic processes in schools with the aim of allowing people to experience dance as an immediate and sensory form of art, exploring alternative ways of thinking and doing, and thus sustainably supporting children and young people in their physical, mental and emotional development.

Some 17 years since the project first began, around 23,400 children from about 159 schools and 940 classes of pupils from almost every district of Berlin have now explored dance with a total of 100 dance artists as part of various TanzZeit teaching formats. Whole-class groups dance as part of projects based on different themes.
