Ansambli Kreshnikët
Dance ensemble · Wuppertal
„Tradita s’flet, ajo vallëzon.“
When the music starts at Kreshnikët, steps turn into stories. The Wuppertal-based ensemble – by its own account the largest Albanian ensemble in Germany – keeps Albanian heritage alive through dance, music and traditional costumes, carried by young people, families and a strong community.
Four trainers with experience in renowned ensembles in Albania and Kosovo and with coaching licences in Germany teach children, teenagers and adults – from the very first step in the Fidanët group to the stage with the Kreshnikët. Their performances take them to weddings, engagements and festivals, from Wuppertal to Zurich, Ferizaj, Tetovo and Tirana.
We share the same belief: tradition has to be lived to survive.
