9th EDITION OF THE FESTIVAL

From 15 to 26 MARCH 2019 in GENEVA

Download the full programme!

This year, the Groove’N’Move festival is looking forward to seeing you from 15 to 26 March for 12 days of artistic eff ervescence that will transform Geneva and its municipalities into the epicentre of urban dance.

With this 9th edition, the festival is reaffirming its commitment to highlighting the values, energy and power of these dances, which can be enjoyed by everyone in their own way. Come and (re)discover the world of break, house influences, hip hop rhythms and popping moves. During our festival, you’ll not only be a spectator, but also a participant in workshops and discussions.

The Groove’N’Move adventure is also a desire to open up spaces of expression for Geneva’s creative talent. Our festival aims to facilitate encounters, both between artists on a local, national and international scale, and between artists and audiences. Among this audience, it’s the families that we wanted to honor this year. A made-to-measure itinerary has been devised as a red thread running through the program.

Finally, Groove’N’Move is a series of encounters that crystallize and move around the towns and partner structures, so that the artistic experience can take place at the theater, in a museum, in a dance studio, or in your local community hall.

Enjoy the festival!
