Since 2015, the Body Rhythm Festival in Hamburg has been bringing people from all over the world together to groove, learn and express themselves artistically. This is where connections are made! Celebrate the 11th festival with us in 2026: even more energetic, even more diverse, even more vibrant.
Festival Opening: Gateway to Groove
Get ready for a double dose of body music! The festival kicks off with award-winning tap dancer Hillary-Marie from the USA, who creates a captivating rhythmic world with foot, body and vocal percussion as well as scenic storytelling. Immediately afterwards, the Austrian Groove Crew ignites a firework display of sound, movement and emotion: five performers who make the stage shake with stomping body percussion, lyrical a cappella and humorous rhythms. Two acts, one evening – full of energy, diversity and pure joy in the body and its music.
