Programme Structure

Phoenix – Summer Dance Intensive 2026 is offered in two formats:

Three-Week Course: 13 July – 1 August 2026
Two-Week Course: 20 July – 1 August 2026

Both options follow the same artistic standards and are integrated into the same programme framework.

Training Content

Training includes:

Classical ballet technique (Vaganova and Cuban influenced).
Contemporary dance and modern techniques.
Repertoire and variation workshops.
Rehearsal and performance preparation.
Individual artistic coaching.
Performance practice and stage readiness.
Somatic Practice and Dance Science

Performance and Programme Completion

The programme culminates in two formal public performances at Odeïon Salzburg on 31 July and 1 August 2026. Staged under full technical conditions, these showcases feature a selection of ensemble and solo repertoire developed during the intensive.

Subject to faculty approval and scheduling feasibility, participants may also present self-created or externally choreographed solo works.

Health and Safety

Phoenix is an intensive training environment. Participants must be in a condition suitable for full participation and must follow all safety instructions.

All participants are required to submit a Health Self-Declaration and proof of valid medical insurance usable in Austria. A medical fitness-to-train certificate is required only where necessary (for example, in case of a recent injury or where reasonably required for safety).

Minor Participants

Participants under 18 require legal guardian consent.

For participants under 16, appropriate adult supervision outside official programme hours must be arranged by the legal guardian.

Accommodation

Please note that Phoenix 2026 does not include organised accommodation. Participants and their families are responsible for arranging and booking their own lodging in Salzburg.

For families who are unfamiliar with the city, it is often practical to prioritise accommodation with convenient public transport access to the training venue at Probehaus Salzburg. In particular, areas near Salzburg Gnigl / Salzburg Sam, Salzburg Hauptbahnhof, or along the S3 line and the O-Bus 10, 23, or 4 routes may be worth considering, depending on budget and room type preferences. The venue is accessible from nearby stops including Salzburg Sam S-Bahn, Gewerbehofstraße, Siedlerstraße, and Bachstraße.
