TEAM ZAIDI

Emotions, energy, power, character, individuality...

The Cie Zaidi has been founded in 2023 and is a young and powerful krump dance company from Switzerland. The goal of the company under the leadership of the choreographer Niki Anjes Stalder is to show and communicate the wonderful expression of the dance style Krump in Switzerland and abroad.  They want to draw more attention to this street style and they want to bring the aesthetics of krump closer to a broad audience and connect with people who usually don't go to theaters. For Niki Anjes Stalder it is also about expanding our western patriarchal concept of art dance and integrating street dance styles and giving them visibility. 

Their artistic work is touching, powerful, honest and has a touch of humour. As the first bigger Krump company in Switzerland their work has a clear pioneer character.
