It's finally time again! Our call for contributions for the Historical Dance Symposium 2026 is online. The symposium will once again take place at Rothenfels Castle in Germany from June 3 - 7, 2026. Under the motto “Transitions”, the focus this time is on changes and transitions in European social and stage dance in the eventful years from 1400 to 1900. We are looking for lectures, workshops and other contributions that deal, for example, with changes and further developments in dance styles and the reception and adaptation of new dance forms. Topics on continuity and change in the function of dance or interactions between stage and social dance and dance theories in the course of time are also suitable. Further suggestions can be found in the call for contributions.

Deadline for proposals is: May 15, 2025!

The symposium homepage will give you all the important information about the symposium, an event not to be missed, the next one will not take place for another four years.... We will open registration for this event in fall.
