Dance Marathon

Sõltumatu Tantsu Lava and the Estonian Disability Union Association invites you to dance for equal mobility!

On June 12th, for the fourth time, an entertaining and charitable 12-hour Dance Marathon will take place in open air, in the yard of Sõltumatu Tantsu Lava at the Telliskivi Creative City, inviting you to dance for a common good goal. Participation fees go to support the treatment of 20-year-old Hendra Raud suffering from severe muscular atrophy.

There is also a MAIN PRIZE for the winner, the last dancer of the marathon - 500 euros!

NB! THE REDUCED PRICE tickets are available until midnight of June 11th! On the day of Dance Marathon (June 12th) the participation and supporter tickets' price is 15 euros.

The 12 hour marathon is divided into different dance styles and tasks, where each hour the participants will have different creative tests on the dance floor and can challenge themselves with various dance styles, forms and movements.

There are several ways to participate:

• participate as a COMPETITOR
• come to cheer and dance along
• SUPPORT with a donation

The dance endurance test lasts for 12h, from 11 am to 11 pm, and every hour the music is played by different DJ. The day is hosted by Kristel Aaslaid and Tuuli Rand, who together with the judges are responsible for encouraging the contestants.

2022 Dance Marathon honorable judges are Ingmar Jõela, Kaisa Kattai, Madli Teller, Marek Vetik and Raho Aadla.

This year's dance beats will be generated by DJ-s and musicians Heidy Purga (Must Mesi), Ingmar Jõela, Yohan (Tjuun In), Kaisa Kattai, Maarja Nuut, Maris Pihlap (TIKS), Micaela Saraceno (HALL), Sander Rajamäe (Smoke Break), Sasha Mirson, Sugar Rody (Dark Disko) and Tarrvi Laamann (Bashment).

Twelve hours of runners-up will determine the overall winner of the marathon in the last hour, who will receive the main prize by Telliskivi Culture City.

The Dance Marathon is part of the Telliskivi Culture city art festival “I don’t understand” programme.

The wider purpose of the Dance Marathon is to celebrate the culture of movement, while paying attention to those in need and those in a weaker position in society. With this event we want to raise awareness of movement and dance, emphasizing that people of any physical form and preparation are equal and involved on the dance floor.

You must be at least 14 years old to participate as a competitor. Dance enthusiasts of all ages are welcome to attend, observe, cheer and dance along!
