summerdance

Summerdance was a platform for promoting talent in dance – this week-long development programme for dancers aged 12 and over has been further developed in recent years as a programme for young talent, in close collaboration between Danse Suisse and the Dance Department of the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). It was jointly decided to explore the possibility of handing the programme over to the venue. There are numerous reasons for this decision, not least organisational and logistical ones. Unfortunately, Summerdance 2026 cannot take place after all due to logistical reasons.


However, the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and the Tanz Akademie Zürich (taZ) are considering a follow-up programme from summer 2027 onwards.
