Therefore we’ve asked our city bloggers to come up with their favourite spots to go and dance or watch others do it. So put on your boogie shoes and let our bloggers guide you through the best dance spots in Cairo, New York, London, Paris and Stockholm.

Let's dance #3: Berlin

Bad girl Anita Berber

Modern Dance has been a part of Berlin's cultural landscape ever since its beginnings in the early 20th century. As a rebellion against the formal strictures of Classical Ballet and a companion to the Expressionism taking hold in the realms of cinema and theatre Modern Dance found enthusiastic support in a Weimar-era Berlin hungry for new sensations. Pioneers such as Mary Wigman, Valeska Gert and Berlin's legendary bad girl Anita Berber revolutionized and scandalized as they developed a new language of dance and spatial dynamics.

In modern times dance continues to fascinate Berliners - a week long performance by dance company Sasha Waltz & Guests to inaugurate the renovated Neues Museum sold out within minutes and local media breathlessly recounted every awkward headdress and bent knee. 

While I can't say I've extensive experience or understanding of dance in all its variety, it's difficult to spend much time in Berlin without eventually being invited out to a dance performance, and so I've spent more than a few evenings marvelling at the creativity and flexibility of a troupe of attractive artistes.

If you're traveling to Berlin and hoping to take in some of the local dance talent, waltz into one of the the following theaters, you're sure to find something to put a spring back into your step.
