The Scholarship Programme is a 5 week further training program taking place every year in July - August in Vienna in the frame of IMPULSTANZ - Vienna International Dance Festival. The Program offers young professional dancers and choreographers from mainly European but also non-European countries the possibility to take part in an intense multinational further training program.
