12:30 Doors 13:00 Film Program - Summer Dance Forever

Every year in August, Summer Dance Forever brings together dancers and dance lovers from around the world for a week-long celebration of music, dance and culture! The festival showcases a wide variety of dance performances, next-level battles, soulful club nights, and energizing workshops to refresh and boost your skills on various locations in the city.

In Melkweg Cinema you can watch two powerful films: the award-winning documentary 'It Ain't Where You're From' by Dubai based director Jamal Rachid about the thriving Gulf Hiphop scene, and the premiere of 'Les Corps Èlectriques', a personal story by dancer and film maker Raphaël Stora.

After the film programme, the free-to-attend seminar “Are you ready for the stage” will start, in which we will talk to a number of artists about creating and presenting hip-hop dance as a performing art.

Melkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the same time, such as concerts, club nights and films. Please note that there may occasionally be some noise pollution from other programmes during the screening.
