Goodbye, dancers!

The last dances for 2023 were held outdoor at the Public Moves classes on 4 August and indoor at the «expressions’23» at Schmelz on 5 August. We are very pleased that 42,100 classes were attended this year and over 17,000 people danced at and watched the Public Moves outdoor classes. Thanks to our Public Moves partners Arbeiterkammer Wien, Raiffeisen, Stadtbank in Wien, MuseumsQuartier Wien and the district administration of the 22nd district of Vienna, without whom none of this would have been possible.

SOÇIAL 

The music programme invites festival guests and visitors to concerts and DJ sets at the Festival Lounge every evening and to the two big ImPulsTanz parties.

The nights became day

Together with ca. 30.000 people we not only celebrated on 30 evenings at the ImPulsTanz Festival Lounge this year, but also danced at the two ImPulsTanz Parties for the first time at the Arkadenhof in the Vienna City Hall and traditionally in Kasino am Schwarzenbergplatz, where we enjoyed the breathtaking concerts by Peaches and LYZZA. Thank you for coming!
