Contemporary Dance

Professional Training with Erika Winkler

Professional Training offers – depending on each teacher and his or her specific artistic background – regular classes that are most likely classically structured. With a roster of weekly rotating guest teachers, this provides the opportunity to both remain in training and to become acquainted with different techniques, modes of working and teaching methods. This training offers ballet in parallel with the various styles of hybrid contemporary dance. The contemporary dance programme in particular presents a broad variety of very different technical understanding, characterised by the invited guesting teachers.
