Open Stage for Dance

Open Stage is a great opportunity to perform your own dance piece in front of an audience. The event is open to all, regardless of skill level or dance style, so you are warmly welcome to join us! Your performance can be a pre-planned choreography or an improvisation.

To secure a place for yourself or your group, please email rosaliina@zodiak.fi

You can choose the music for your performance. The maximum length of the performance is 7 minutes. Please register by 30 October. If there are still places available, you can also register on the spot.

Come and enjoy the joy of dance - see you on stage!
