Hopping Around Gladbeck: From Breakdance to Line Dance, Everyone Joins the Fun
Let's get moving in Gladbeck, y'all! On a sunny Saturday, folks of all shapes and sizes flocked to Willy-Brandt-Platz, where a dance floor popped up like a mirage. The city was buzzing with excitement as participants took part in the unofficial but spirited "Gladbeck dances" event.
At the stroke of 2 PM, the square was alive with energy. Amidst pavilions and benches, the dance floor stood out like a beacon, inviting everyone to join in the excitement. The premiere of "Gladbeck dances" offered a smorgasbord of workshops catering to all age groups – proving that dance knows no barriers!
Ursula Grontzki, an 82-year-old dance maestro, spearheaded the event. "It's gorgeous to see young and old moving together," she beamed. Despite her advanced age, Ursula was an essential part of the event, leading the "Dancing in a chair" workshop. Her goal? To stir up the spirits of the elderly while fostering a sense of community.
Sabine Terschek, a caritas worker from the Caritas association Gladbeck, shared Ursula's vision. A newbie to the dance scene, she found herself dancing on stage at "Gladbeck dances." The event provided a platform for everyone to jive and have a rip-roaring time.
Rain and wind tried to dampen the spirits, but Gladbeckians didn't back down – they just adapted, moving indoors as promised by co-organizer Christiane Schmidt from the press office of the city of Gladbeck. Come nightfall, the night was lit up with a grand dance party, much to the delight of the crowd.
From disco fox to hip-hop, "Gladbeck dances" turned into a joyous celebration of movement and camaraderie. For Ursula Grontzki, it wasn't her first time on a dance floor. "I've always loved to dance. It feels great to move, even if I'm not as spry as I once was," she confessed with a hearty laugh.
Even though the event wasn't officially associated with any formal initiative, dance has always played an essential role in Gladbeck's cultural and educational scene. Acclaimed schools like Riesener Gymnasium have been known to host events like "Mitmachtag" that encourage dance, sports, and music for all ages.
So, if you ever find yourself in Gladbeck and feel a sudden urge to dance – just step onto the floor and join the fun! Who knows? You might just find yourself making some new friends along the way!
