Bucharest Workshops Schedule 2026
Available after registration closes
This year, we are adding two very important workshops targeting aspects of a dancer’s development that can really help them reach their full potential. With one workshop addressing the dancer’s mind and the other workshop, their body, the dancers attending will hopefully be able to return home and work on new skills that will help them push their progress further.
Additionally, as we truly believe in continuous professional development, all local and registered teachers are welcome to actively participate or assist in these workshops.
Both workshops will be taught in English. If you wish to attend, but need help with communication, let us know in advance. If we have enough staff on the day, we can try and provide you with linguistic support in Romanian, French and potentially Ukrainian.
Please note, the grade exams schedule will be coordinated with the workshop, to give dancers the best chance at attending both. A final schedule will be sent out before the event.

Competitive Master Mindset Workshop – with JULIE SHOWALTER MARSHALL, ADCRG
Tap this link for a message from Julie
This two-hours long workshop, split into two groups (children and teens & adults), will focus on stage performance skills, giving dancers the confidence tools needed to perform at their highest level, to have fun when competing, rather than feeling anxiety about being in front of the adjudicators. Unlock your mind’s power and see how much more at ease you will feel on stage. This workshop is a phenomenal utensil for competitive and performing dancers alike!
OVERCOMING RESTRICTIONS AND COMPENSATIONS FOR IRISH DANCERS – with RĂZVAN RIGALEB, professional dancer & Pilates instructor
Tap this link for a sample of our pilot workshop with Răzvan.
This three-hour workshop will include warm-up and cool-down, and in between, it will target discovering and addressing physical restrictions and ways in which Irish dancers compensate for them, through floorbarre and contemporary dance conditioning exercises, as well as pilates and dynamic stretching techniques. The programme of the workshop has been developped specifically for Irish dancers, following a series of sessions with the STEYsha School dancers.
The aim of the workshop is to help dancers view their bodies through different lenses and work on new habits that will improve their overall performance.
Dancers will need to bring their own resistance bands (long type), water bottles and indoor training shoes. Yoga mats and blocks will be provided.
