COUNTRY RETREATS

ImPulsTanz goes Italy!

Between June and October, ImPulsTanz invites you to five extraordinary retreats in the green heart of Italy – Umbria! Ten internationally renowned artists will accompany you on a journey towards greater joy of movement, physical awareness and inner balance.

What awaits you

Daily hours of movement amidst the idyllic rolling hills of Umbria – complemented by a free day to explore the breathtaking surroundings, take a dip, sample local wines or simply do nothing at all under the Italian sun.

The retreats are open level – no previous experience is required. You can book the workshops individually or as a duo. At the heart of it all: ease, wellbeing and shared experience in a small, inspiring group.

The retreats are held in collaboration with Artis Umbria – the newly established centre for dance and health founded by ImPulsTanz teacher Kerstin Kussmaul, nestled in the powerful tranquillity of the Umbrian landscape.

The Concept

Each retreat is led by two teachers, each offering:

  • their own individual workshop
  • a joint course: Shared Moments

You can book either one or both of the individual workshops. All participants automatically take part in Shared Moments – regardless of their chosen workshop combination.

Cancellation Policy

Deposits are binding and non-refundable. For cancellations up to 60 days before the retreat, we can – as a gesture of goodwill – issue a €200 credit note. This can be used for workshops or research projects at the ImPulsTanz Festival and is valid for the current year and the two following years.

Alternatively, also up to 60 days before the start of the retreat, bookings (including the deposit) may be transferred to another person for a €50 processing fee – provided that the replacement is arranged directly by the person cancelling. Cancellations made within 30 days of the start date incur a fee of 50% of the total cost (minus the deposit). For example, on a €1,460 booking, this equals a cancellation fee of €530. From 14 days before the retreat, the full cost becomes non-refundable – no exceptions can be made.

Tip: Consider taking out travel cancellation insurance!
