About us
Since 2013, Budapest International Dance Week has become one of the leading dance workshop festivals in Europe, attracting over 1000 dancers, teachers, and artists from around the world to participate. During the hottest two weeks of summer in Budapest, Dance Week provides a platform for people to explore, learn, share, and most importantly, celebrate dance together.
In order to grow together with the international contemporary dance community, we are always committed to inviting teachers from top dance companies and introducing the essence NORM of Hungarian dance to our students. We advocate for emerging artists, sustainable development, and an equal environment, allowing everyone to thrive and leave with unforgettable experiences.
IDW Budapest is jointly organized by SUB.LAB. Event Productions and S í n Arts Centre.

MINIMAL PLASTIC
Avoid single use plastics and bring your own refillable water bottle to the festival. The tap water is perfectly drinkable.
EAT AND DRINK GREEN
Our tasty lunch is prepared by Tamás Fejszák who makes sure that all the ingredients are from the daily market, seasonal and without any preservatives or highly processed. We recommend the vegetarian or vegan option, but if you are more of a carnivore type, don’t worry, our meat hasn’t traveled from other countries nor seen single plastic packaging.
Our bar “Pöti Büfe’ offers great homemade sandwiches, smoothies, protein bars, coffee, tea and lemonade from bio and natural ingredients to keep you energized and chilled between all the hot dancing.
… and of course homemade Palinka shot to finish the day.
MINIMAL CHEMICAL
We keep our studios, toilets, bathrooms, büfé and common spaces clean with ecological cleaning supplies to protect nature.
We recommend the use of natural soaps that you can even buy during the festival, made by
REUSE AND RECYCLE
If you can re-use it, don’t toss it ! If you can’t, then find the suitable place for it amongst our recycling bins. All of our leftover food is taken to piggies, goats and ducks at a nearby city farm.
TRAVEL LIGHT
When traveling to Budapest we recommend you to consider traveling by train. For traveling inside Budapest you can even rent the citybike “MOL Bubi” for very little money.
