UNTZ BABY UNTZ – Dansstationen & MYKA

The jury’s motivation

The beats of the bass drum increase in intensity, the smoke machine fizzes and soon babies and toddlers are welcomed to their first encounter with the club space. It's a pulsating, expressive and inviting choreography that inspires the young audience to move on their own, and soon spectators and dancers are dancing together in the neon-lit stage. It is a spectacular and full on dance piece that straddles the line between electro-club and children's party and knows that it is impossible to sit still when a throbbing dance floor is at your disposal.

UNTZ BABY UNTZ - an interactive dance performance where bass and techno meets children's parties!

Here is the opportunity for you and your loved ones to discover the magical world of techno and celebrate the dance floor's euphoric community together. Inspired by the 90ts rave culture and the principle PLUR (peace, love, unity, respect) in the word of the club room's world of pulse, smoke and neon lights, UNTZ BABY UNTZ is born - a warm fuzzy techno embrace that wants to inspire the young audience to take their first steps into the world of techno and dance.

UNTZ BABY UNTZ is a family performance for the ages 6 months to 100 years! We invite babies, older siblings along with their adults and friends to a fun-filled experience, where they can move freely together in the group or practice solo dancing.
