Soul Sessions Oslo is a nonprofit organization creating platforms for street and club dance in Norway.
No matter your age or experience - we want you all to take part of this incredible culture embracing peace, love, unity and having fun!
We organize streetdance festivals and projects with battles, jams, performances, panel talks and workshops.
We are working towards building bridges within the field of dance and working for the respect that street and club dance deserves. Together with expanding what diversity means within Street and Club dance, we're always working to keep opening doors and building inclusive platforms rooted in music, movement and love.
We are proud to organize Norways biggest street & club dance festivals throughout the year. Our biggest festival, Extended with battles in many categories and a showcase competition. The Encounters festival focusing on performances, choreography development and battles with some twists. We host Open Practices every Sunday.
Soul Sessions Oslo was established in 2009 by Camilla Tellefsen and Mathias Jin Budtz. Later that year the organization was developed further in collaboration with Inger-Reidun Olsen.
Since 2010 we've organized weekly open practices, jams, different projects and battles. In spring 2016 we moved in to Sentralen in Oslo and until this date we do most of our activities there.
