If the festival, an individual workshop or a research project has to be cancelled, the full amount of the affected workshops or research projects (including cancellation fees) will be refunded – pro rata for workshops and research projects that have already started. Any private expenses already incurred for attending the festival (travel, accommodation costs, etc.) cannot be reimbursed.

What does Open Doors mean?

At the workshop centre, every day is “Open House”! Everyone is welcome to come and watch the workshops. The studios are large, there is enough space to sit at the edge of the dance floor, sway to the beat, let the (live) music carry your thoughts and inspire you without disturbing the class. In addition, there are free events as well as showings of workshops, research projects and residencies that give exclusive insights into the courses and works of the choreographers or simply make you want to dance. Those who not only want to watch, but also participate, are also very welcome at the jams! More information will be available online from June. The list of events will be updated regularly. It’s worth checking it out regularly.

Will Public Moves take place again in 2025?

Yes, Public Moves will once again be held in the open air: numerous internationally renowned teachers will impart their knowledge of yoga, Bollywood dance, HipHop and much more in free outdoor classes at several locations. All ages and levels are welcome! More information will be provided soon.

Is there child care at ImPulsTanz?

To ensure that parents taking part in workshops know that their offspring are in good care and in close proximity, we offer childcare for children from the age of two in the workshop centre during the booked course times. Registrations are possible at the start of the booking process via kinderbetreuung@impulstanz.com.

Are there reasonably priced accommodation options during the festival?

From mid May onwards, there will be a constantly updated list of private accommodation for rent during the summer. ImPulsTanz makes this platform available to interested participants – however, it cannot take any responsibility for the content of the advertisements.
