The Bernese theatres have joined forces for the four-day event: Bühnen Bern, Dampfzentrale Bern, Schlachthaus Theater, BETA – Association of Bernese Dance Professionals & Tanzhaus Bern and Reso - Dance Network Switzerland.

The artistic programme comprises 25 dance performances. They are aimed equally at audiences in Bern and the surrounding region, as well as at national and international curators.

Reso – Swiss Dance Network is the umbrella organisation for Swiss Dance Days and co-organises this dance festival, which takes place every two years in a different Swiss city and presents dance works produced in Switzerland.
