Summer Dance and Vacation Week for Women (Upper Styria)

A week of dancing, taking a deep breath, and making time for yourself. In a small castle surrounded by meadows and forests in Upper Styria, we’ll leave everyday life behind for a while.

We’ll dance with power and ease, full of joie de vivre, or calmly and with complete focus on ourselves. Egyptian dance, elements of dance therapy, and free and meditative dance invite you to rediscover your body and give space to your own expression. Together with other women, with curiosity, humor, and without any pressure to perform. Prior experience is neither necessary nor a hindrance.

In the mornings, we’ll dance for about two and a half hours. We’ll also have one afternoon and two to three evenings dedicated to dancing. In between, there’ll be time for conversations, group activities, hikes, and swimming in the nearby natural ponds. Or you can retreat, enjoy the peace and quiet, and simply do nothing.

August 15–21, 2027, at the Pichlschloss estate near Neumarkt. The retreat begins Sunday at 5 p.m. and ends Saturday around noon. Course fee: 330 euros. Accommodations and half-board are extra.
