We are thrilled to announce that we will be supporting young dancers with the opportunity to join the Bolzano Danza Workshops – top-tier classes led by international teachers at Italy’s premier dance festival, held annually in Bolzano, South Tyrol since 1985.

In partnership with our new collaborator — the Südtiroler Kulturinstitut – we will be offering a one-week fellowship to dance students aged 15–18 who are navigating challenging life circumstances.

Anyone pursuing a dance career knows how crucial it is to build industry connections and broaden their exposure to different dance and teaching styles. Participating in summer intensives and workshops opens the door to new encounters, showcases your abilities, and provides independent feedback from professionals in the field. From experience, we know that not everyone can afford the travel and participation costs involved in these vocational events.

Thankfully, we continue to find like-minded partners who share our mission and work with us to make these experiences accessible to talented students facing financial barriers.

Together with the Südtiroler Kulturinstitut, we will be offering a one-week fellowship at the Bolzano Danza Workshops, which includes:

  • Access to 3 classes per day(90 minutes each), totaling 15 lessons, from Monday to Friday, July 21-25
  • A one-week half-board stayat a lodging facility organized by Creative Fellowship
  • Round-trip airport transferfrom the airport closest to Bolzano
  • 24/7 guardianshipprovided by one of our educators

We’ll be announcing the open call with all the details and requirements soon. Stay tuned — and feel free to drop your questions in the comments or via DM!
