Dance studio revitalizes theatre scene with innovative dance practices
In the heart of Osnabrück city centre, the Xtract Studio, a new creative space dedicated to dance, movement, and personal development, is set to open its doors on August 15. The studio, founded by 25-year-old Kelly Wasajja who has been living in Osnabrück since 2013, promises to be a hub for artistic and holistic growth.
The Xtract Studio is part of the "pop up quartier" project, an initiative by Marketing Osnabrück GmbH that has been enabling creative interim uses in the city centre since 2022. The project aims to showcase innovative concepts and revitalise the city, and the location of the Xtract Studio in the city centre aligns with this goal, further strengthening its diversity and attractiveness.
The studio combines a street-style atmosphere with Hip Hop and Pilates, offering a unique blend of dance forms. The course offerings include Hip Hop for children and adults, Heels, and Pilates, as well as more specialized classes such as Creative Movement Workshops, Dance for Well-being and Mindfulness, Movement Therapy Sessions, and Expressive Arts and Performance Preparation. These courses cater to different levels, from beginners to experienced dancers, and emphasize both artistic growth and holistic health.
Following the studio's opening on August 15, there will be a free workshop day on August 16 for those interested in experiencing the Xtract Studio first-hand. If you want more details on exact times or how to register, it's recommended to check directly with the Xtract Studio or Osnabrück Theater Passage closer to the opening date.
The Xtract Studio's mission is to connect movement, expression, and community, both locally and digitally. The studio welcomes all age groups, from children to experienced dancers, and is more than just a place for dance classes. It's a space for encounter and exchange, where individuals can explore, express, and grow, both as artists and as people.
The "pop up quartier" project and the Xtract Studio by Kelly Wasajja are exciting additions to Osnabrück's cultural landscape, offering opportunities for artistic exploration, personal growth, and community engagement.
- Besides dance, the Xtract Studio also ventures into various aspects of lifestyle, catering to courses in fashion-and-beauty, food-and-drink, home-and-garden, and relationships.
- The opening of the Xtract Studio in the heart of Osnabrück not only allows locals to explore new dance forms but also presents an opportunity for pet owners to socialize their pets during specialized classes.
- As the Xtract Studio encourages holistic health, it introduces courses like travel and shopping, aimed at broadening one's worldview and fostering financial literacy.
- The unique blend of dance forms, community engagement, and diverse course offerings make the Xtract Studio a potential hub for both artistic and personal development in Osnabrück, alongside the revitalization brought by the "pop up quartier" project.
