Anniversary year 2025 - 100 Years Palucca University
Over the past 100 years, the Palucca University of Dance Dresden has established itself as one of the leading dance institutions with global recognition. With a nod to its past and a clear vision for the future, this anniversary is both a tribute to its founder and an inspiration for future generations.
Founded in 1925 by Gret Palucca, a pioneer of modern dance, the institution quickly became a hub for artistic innovation. Palucca’s concepts and her unique style set new standards in the dance world, a legacy that continues to shape the university’s profile today.
Come celebrate with us!
