Around 15 girls aged 10-16 took part in the weekly dance and acrobatics training sessions and presented their performance to an audience on July 1st, 2017. Many participants came from the Don Bosco Club Cologne-Mülheim youth centre and from the alliance partner MTV Köln 1850 e.V.
The artistic-pedagogical team consists of Derya Kaptan (dance artist/choreographer) and Regina Klostermann (circus and adventure pedagogue), who work together across disciplines and organise the dance programme and rehearsals together.
This was followed by the DACRO summer camp, where the participants of the first DACRO project passed on their skills to new participants as Peer Coaches.
