To get from one location to the next, you have to go outside. Please take normal street shoes with you when changing locations! You will find a map in your Tanz:Fest brochure.

The workshops on the mountain take place on the yoga platform on the Schlossalm (Schlossalmbahn mountain station). Meeting point 9.00 am at the Schlossalmbahn valley station. You will receive your ticket for the ascent and descent at the ticket office (ticket included in the All-In Pass, otherwise please pay directly at the ticket office or buy online ).

The workshop will only take place if it is not raining. If the workshop is canceled, there will be a post on www.tanzfestgastein.com and in the Facebook community by 8.30 am .

After the workshop, there will be an opportunity to have lunch together at the Kleine Scharte mountain restaurant. To reserve enough seats, please let the Tanz:Fest Info Desk know by the evening before.

At the end of each workshop you have the opportunity to film the lesson content (step sequences, figures). Please note that recordings of any kind (sound, video) are only permitted during the time defined by the dance teacher. Publication of the recordings is NOT permitted!

Most workshops teach couple dances. A dance partner is of course not absolutely necessary, but it makes sense to have a dance partner. Of course, anyone can dance together - whether man/woman, woman/woman or man/man. Nowadays we talk about followers and leaders anyway.

There are no cab dancers.
