The Pollino Danza Festival offers not only competitions and shows, but also a unique educational experience with Masterclasses and workshops immersed in the pristine nature of the Pollino National Park.
Masterclasses .
The festival hosts prestigious masterclasses conducted by internationally renowned artists. Each masterclass includes an intensive course that combines technical study and artistic creation. The choreographies created during the masterclasses may be presented at the Gala evening of the Pollino Danza Festival and the following day for the final event at Porto degli Argonauti, Marina di Pisticci.
Masterclasses may have an age limit at the discretion of the guest choreographer and may have a limited number of places.
It is also possible to purchase access to the masterclasses separately, if you do not wish to participate in the entire Festival program.
NB: If you purchase the open card or receive the scholarship, access to the masterclasses is already included.
