Für alle TänzerInnen unter unseren BesucherInnen darf auf der Kokorokon ein Dance Contest natürlich nicht fehlen! Would you like to present your dance skills live on stage? Then sign up now and show us what you’ve got!
The competition will take place on Sunday, 15.02.2026, on the main stage.
How do I register?
Send us the form below by 16.01.2026. If we receive too many registrations, there will be a pre-selection.
In this case, the jury will select the participants in advance who will finally compete on site.
It is possible to register as an individual or as a group. Individual and group acts will be judged and chosen separately (see rules for more information)!
How does the evaluation work?
Each of the 3 jurors awards 1-10 points for each of the evaluation categories. After the contest, the judges come together for the evaluation, where the performances are discussed and the final points are evaluated.
The winners in the individual and group categories are announced at the award ceremony on the respective day. The prizes will be presented on stage. If you are unable to attend the award ceremony, please provide your contact details at the information stand.
What evaluation criteria are there?
Self-choreographed dances are evaluated according to creativity, execution/implementation and interaction with the music.
For cover dances, execution and implementation are evaluated.
For all participants, facial expressions, eye contact, audience interaction, stage use and synchronicity/positions (in the case of group participants) are important evaluation categories.
Which song selection is allowed? All options and music styles are open to you, there are no restrictions. Mash-ups or intros are also allowed as long as the total duration is no longer than 5 minutes. However, please make sure that we have visitors from all age groups – your choice of song should therefore be youth-free in terms of title, choreography and lyrics.
What rules should be observed?
- As we only have a limited time slot, your performance should take between 3 and 5 minutes.
- Participants must arrive backstage 15 minutes before the start.
- There is a waiting list. You will be notified by e-mail if you are unable to take part. If you are unable to take part in the competition, please notify us by e-mail so that we can inform the participants on the waiting list.
- The recording of images and audio recordings of participants is automatically permitted and can be used afterwards.
- A valid Kokorokon ticket is required to participate. Tickets can be purchased at the VKK or at the box office.
- Participants should wear safety pants to protect their privacy and comfort.
- For their own protection, underage participants should not wear clothing that is too revealing (e.g. bikini tops, etc.).
I would like feedback, is that possible? Yes, but our jury is not obliged to give feedback. There are often so many requests after the contest that it takes up so much time that feedback is not possible for everyone. We therefore ask you to remain polite and respectful towards the jury.
