Under the motto "research dance - dance research", dancers, lovers of dance and scholars from all over the world come together to discuss, dance, gain inspiration and make new contacts.

        • Lectures present the current state of research.
        • Workshops give an opportunity to try out new dance styles and reconstructions.
        • Compact performances show current artistic interpretations.
        • Dance evenings and a celebratory ball provide a diversity of new contacts.
        • Sharing life together in the castle enables intensive days of encounter.

For all those who do not want to wait until the symposium: Cordial invitation to

Dance & History Online 2022
29 - 30 January 2022

With our online dance days, we want to once again shine a spotlight on the development of dance in German-speaking countries over four centuries. We have been able to attract a number of new speakers. This time our palette ranges from dance illustrations of the 16th century to Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's dance pleasure. Surely there is something exciting for everyone.

In the next few days, the invitation flyers will be printed, the website is being updated and soon we want to set up the hall technology for a possible live stream of the lectures.

So you can already make a note of the Symposium dates:
15 - 19 June 2022.

Our Symposium Special for baroque dancers will take place immediately before this:
12 - 15 June 2022

If the weather plays along as it does in the photo, it will be a great symposium!

A Ball Paolo Panini aus1klDue to the Corona pandemic, the symposium originally planned for 2020 has been postponed to 2022. We plan to keep the same topic "The Ball" with the same speakers as much as possible. Very few had to cancel their contribution, a few others are currently still unsure whether they will be able to attend the conference in 2022. Therefore, we would now like to start a supplementary call for contributions.

Contributions are welcome in all categories. Submissions that we cannot consider, will be put on a waiting list in case further speakers will not be able to come.
