Summer Dance Intensive

The Summer Dance & Mime Intensive is a truly unique week where cultures, stories talent and faith meet to strenghten, inspire and encourage you. This Dance Camp offers professional training in dance and physical theatre in a place where you will receive more understanding in how to bridge the gap between passionately pursuing your gifts and honoring God with your life.

You have the option to attend the entire week or just to participate in individual Masterclasses

Masterclasses

If you are not able to be part of the whole Summer Dance Intensive Seminar, you have the opportunity to attend one or more Classes without application (Sunday-Friday). The costs are CHF 25.- per class(90min). The costs have to be paid in cash(CHF) before each class to a YWAM staff member in the studio. The studios are in a 15minutes walking distance from each other. That makes a change between levels possible during the break.
