On November 14, 2026, Wuppertal will transform into a vibrant hub of urban dance culture: The Wu Tal Session 2026 will bring together dancers, artists, and culture enthusiasts from the region and beyond at the Pina Bausch Center under construction.

The highlight is a top-class hip-hop & house battle that celebrates urban dance styles at the very highest level. With invited guests from Germany, Uzbekistan, the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom, the audience can expect an extraordinary concentration of talent and experience – a stage where international stars and up-and-coming talents come together. DJ sets and a vibrant artistic atmosphere ensure a lively and dynamic event.

The Wu Tal Session sees dance as a universal language: inclusive, egalitarian and unifying. In this edition in particular, it is evident how dance transcends boundaries and brings together people from a wide variety of backgrounds. This creates spaces for encounter where cultural diversity becomes visible and a sense of community grows.

The collaboration between the Urban Art Complex Wuppertal, the Pina Bausch Centre under construction and Sway e.V. has given rise to a format that is not only artistically compelling but also strengthens social inclusion, youth development and cultural diversity.

Whether on stage or in the audience – the Wu Tal Session 2026 invites everyone to experience the power of dance and to send a message of openness and creativity together.
