Thematic Focus

Hip Hop Dance Week

With the HIP HOP DANCE WEEK, Hamburg becomes the global center of hip hop culture. This week is an opportunity for the various actors of the Juste Debout movement to meet in advance and exchange ideas, especially on the dance floor, the most important place of exchange in hip hop culture. Workshops, panels, battles, community formats, game nights, parties and club formats by the most important scene personalities provide the perfect opportunity for flow and knowledge transfer. The festival program gets its Hamburg touch through the involvement of important local scene representatives who care about community-immanent issues such as gender parities and identities, network and power structures as well as the limits and development potential of art.

Here are all ticket options!

Hip Hop Dance Week at Kampnagel is a festival curated by artistic director Bruce Ykanji with the support of the local hip hop community. Expect battles, panels, lectures, workshops, and unforgettable parties. Festival tickets are on sale now. The Juste Debout Finals 2024 are part of Hip Hop Dance Week.

Awareness at the event

It is important to us to make all rooms safer spaces so that everyone feels comfortable. That’s why we have an awareness team on site that is not there to issue bans or restrictions, but on the contrary to support respectful and sensitive cooperation. Therefore: Be good to each other.

  • Take care of yourself and others. If you feel threatened, harassed or unsafe, contact our awareness team. If you see someone else needs help, reach out to them or contact us. We take every concern seriously and do not question your experience. You will find the awareness team in front of the quiet space at the front entrance to K6 and will recognize them by their neon yellow vests. If you don’t see the team, please reach out to the staff at the information desk and front-of-house staff.
  • Only an explicit yes means yes. Conversations and actions with those around you should only take place with mutual consent, i.e. according to the consensus principle.
  • Fashion is empowerment, not just clothing. For many, clothing and free physicality represent a form of empowerment. Everyone should feel comfortable in the clothes they wear and therefore should not be commented on.
  • No photos & videos without permission. Do not photograph people without their express permission.
  • Ask for pronouns. You cannot see a person’s gender identity. So always ask about preferred pronouns.
  • We are also there for you after the event. If you still need support after the event or have feedback, write us an email to: awareness@kampnagel.de
