Are You Syncopated?! is neither a dance festival nor a jazz festival. It aims for the sweet spot in the middle. AYS!? is essentially a get-together of the Berlin early jazz scene with the addition of international guests to celebrate jazz culture with respect and openness.

We welcome the dance community in Berlin and beyond to experience high-profile bands in an environment suitable for dancing. This year’s activities also include the Berlin Hot Jazz Camp, lectures, 3 dance tracks, daytime activities, a family program… and lots of partying!
