REVIEW

In 150 performances, we celebrated in 2024 with more than 60,000 visitors in the theatres and museums of Vienna. We danced through approximately 43,800 course units in 268 workshops and research projects at Arsenal. We took dancing outdoors during 357 free Public Moves classes with 18,000 participants and 26,000 spectators. And we wrapped up the over 32 ImPulsTanz nights with around 25,000 night owls at the Festival Lounge at Burgtheater Vestibül and the Vienna City Hall. In total, more than 180,000 people danced, watched and celebrated with us, embracing dance in all its forms. Thank you to everyone who was part of it – we’ll see you at the next ImPulsTanz Festival from 10 July to 10 August 2025! Visit our archive and our photo and video galleries to reminisce.
