ImPulsTanz Festival

Experience Contemporary Movement

Step into the vibrant pulse of the Viennese arts scene by timing your visit during the summer months. During this season, the city hosts the ImPulsTanz Festival, a dedicated showcase for contemporary dance and performance. If you are looking to immerse yourself in the craft, the festival also offers an opportunity to participate in various dance workshops.

A Summer of Arts

While much of the traditional musical scene in Vienna retreats during the summer months—leaving only specific ensembles catering to tourists—the ImPulsTanz Festival ensures the city remains a destination for those seeking modern movement. It provides a distinct atmosphere of contemporary performance amidst the historic backdrop of the Austrian capital.
