Next Move
Next Move is a platform for street dancers in the Västra Götaland region who want to take the step into the performing arts. Through production residencies, development support, and workshops, we create opportunities for dancers and choreographers to realize their ideas and reach a broader audience.
Next Move was launched in 2021 to provide street dancers in Västra Götaland with a pathway into the performing arts. We identified a need for support, resources, and contexts where dancers could grow and create performances. Through our production residency, one group per year is given the opportunity to create a full-length performance, ready for touring.
In addition, we offer development residencies for those wishing to explore their ideas, along with a comprehensive workshop program aimed at empowering and inspiring street dancers in the region. In 2024, we held 21 workshops in nine locations and collaborated with the French company Compagnie Dyptik.
Through collaboration with more partners, Next Move continues to grow. In 2024, the performance Väntrummet toured six locations in Västra Götaland. Next tour will expand further in 2025. Our goal is to provide street dancers with new opportunities and create a vibrant scene for street dance as a performing art in the Västra Götaland region.
