UAER

URBAN ARTS ENSEMBLE RUHR

first of its kind

Founded in April 2023 and funded by the state of Ruhr, the Urban Arts Ensemble Ruhr represents the further development, visibility and establishment of hip-hop as a culture in the Ruhr metropolitan region throughout Germany and Europe.

The ensemble of seven dancers with different dance styles and perspectives seeks new paths to set new aesthetic standards when it comes to contemporary hip hop dance.

THE ENSEMBLE

Productions

Renegade was founded in 2003 as the first urban dance company in Germany. Since then, we have realized over 35 dance theatre productions with the independent company, won several prizes for our work, collaborated with major theaters and toured our work in Germany and internationally. With the new URBAN ART ENSEMBLE RUHR, the Renegade era is coming to an end after 20 years, but of course not completely. But: We will continue to perform the successful production FASTER (!) for you, choreographed by Jimmy Vairon.

AKADEMIE

each one teach one

Step by step to your hip hop style, that's your plan? Fine - because we know how to do it. We offer regular courses in hip hop and breaking, as well as workshops in other styles such as krump or dancehall. We start with children from the age of 4. With us, you will learn the basics of different dance styles, routines and choreographys - and find your own style. If you are already experienced dancers, you have the opportunity to develop to professional level with us. Our instructors are rooted in the hip hop scene, are professional dancers on stage and in battles and have many years of experience.
