( Monday - Saturday 9:00 to 18)
Spiral(E) is a four year full time Contemporary Dance/Theatre education in Vienna, Austria. Since it's beginning in 1997 the program has served and benefited the Austrian dance scene as well as attracting dance students from throughout Europe, South America and Asia. The focus of the education is the preparation of beginner and intermediate dance students for a career on stage as professional contemporary dance/theatre performers. As well as working with guest teachers and choreographers the students produce their own work each year which is presented in one of the numerous performing venues for the education.
The Spiral(e) Afternoon Program
(Mon. - Sat. 14:00 to 17:00)
The Afternoon Program offers a unique opportunity for the student who wishes
to do a serious pre professional training on a daily basis. The 12 classes
per week represent a reduced version of the full time study, with the same
line of training and attention given to the student by the teachers. The teachers
are the same for both programs. A number of classes are shared with the students
from the full time program.
