Dance for You Magazine – The Renowned International Dance Magazine

Dance for You Magazine has been one of the most significant specialist publications for ballet, contemporary dance, and the international dance scene for over 20 years. Published bilingually (German & English), it reaches a global readership of choreographers, dancers, dance educators, theatres, dance schools, event organisers, and dance enthusiasts.

The magazine covers all forms of dance – from classical ballet to hip-hop, breakdance, and ballroom – providing exclusive interviews, reviews, profiles, and reports on dance trends, productions, and careers. With high-quality journalistic content, compelling stories, and a strong visual language, Dance for You offers guidance, information, and inspiration to all who live for dance.

Diversity & Depth
The magazine brings together voices from the global dance scene: renowned German and international correspondents report on current developments, trends, and challenges. With its unique range of topics, Dance for You appeals to choreographers, dancers, performers, dance educators, theatre makers, event organisers, as well as the fashion and dance sport industries.

More than a Magazine – A Stage for the Dance World
Dance for You accompanies artists “on stage” – from the first rehearsal day to the premiere – providing them with a platform to make their work and vision visible. It strengthens the international dance community, promotes diversity and inclusion, and inspires with stories of courage, creativity, and perseverance. In doing so, the magazine also makes a significant contribution to cultural education and the preservation of dance heritage.
