Inclusive dance training in Villach: move and meet together

In Villach, a special event will be invited again: On Wednesday, October 30th, there will be an open dance training for the Freakout group. This inclusive dance format, which was founded by Lebenshilfe Carinthia over ten years ago, has developed from the originally staged theater over the years into a dynamic contemporary dance that combines people with and without disabilities.

The show. Anita Winkler, who plays a crucial role in the development of the group, describes this place as ideal, especially because of the large windows, the curious passers -by. "Due to the open design, people come into contact with us and there are conversations that help to reduce fear of contact," she explains.

inclusive dancing for everyone

At the open dance training, everyone is very welcome, regardless of their skills. Anita Winkler emphasizes that people with disabilities gain self -confidence and learn a lot about movements. "Dancing is a valuable experience for every participant," she adds. The experience of being part of this group without a disability is also enriching for many.

Niki Meixner, the current choreographer of the group, reports on his first encounter with freakout and the influence that this experience had on him. He describes the atmosphere when dancing together as free of pressure to perform, which leads to a relaxed and easy experience. "There are beautiful things that you would otherwise not experience," said Niki. The idea of stretching the time while dancing and enjoying the moment is in the foreground.

The group has already had several appearances and its inventory is unbroken. The fact that dance training is offered in an open environment opens up new opportunities for participation and interaction to people. If you are interested, you can take part in the training every second Wednesday from 10.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. Getting started is easy and the first trial lesson free of charge. This makes the offer particularly inviting for curious people who want to dive into the world of inclusive dance.

Overall, freakout clearly symbolizes how art can bring people together, regardless of any restrictions. The surprising mutation of the dancers to conquer Villach in this way offers everyone present a fresh perspective on the topic of inclusion in society.
