Dance Tolerance

Dance workshop with Serge Koffi Coulon for everyone from 12 years old

To mark Black History Month, the Weltmuseum Wien and the Tanz die Toleranz team are organising an Afro-American Social Dances workshop. In this workshop, all interested persons, regardless of their origin, ethnicity, or religion, will dance together to funk and house music under guidance. It will be a moment of awareness, sharing, and exchange.

The workshop will be led by Serge Koffi Coulon. He has been working as a street dancer and choreographer in Paris for several years and has gained experience at many international Battles. His teaching is characterised by the bond with the music!

Before the dance workshop, the Weltmuseum Wien offers a free guided tour of the permanent collection, during which the traces of colonialism are illuminated and the stories behind African and Afro-Brazilian artefacts are discussed.  

The guided tour and the workshop are free of charge! No dance knowledge or previous experience is required!

The event is being organised in cooperation with Tanz die Toleranz. ‘With this programme, Caritas of the Archdiocese of Vienna provides intercultural and inclusive artistic work that enables new forms of encounters between people. The mission of Tanz die Toleranz is to enable everyone, regardless of talent and experience, age and gender, skin colour, religion, ethnicity or social background, to access and participate in art and culture. Dance connects across social, cultural and linguistic barriers. The medium of dance opens up new possibilities for communication and a sense of belonging.’ (Michael Landau)
