About us
CREDO – We Believe in Dance
Why Credo?
Because it means believing in something.
Something you can’t always explain in detail – but you feel it deeply inside.
We believe in children – in their curiosity and wonder.
We believe in youth – in its freedom and strength.
We believe in adulthood – in its power and responsibility.
We believe in age – in its experience and wisdom.
And we believe this: Dance belongs to every stage of life.
Dance is emotion. Movement. Expression.
It lives inside us – in countless forms.
And the most refined, powerful form of dance? Classical ballet.
It takes time. It takes effort. It takes heart.
But what you gain from it stays with you forever:
Strength, awareness, grace – for life.
Credo also means sharing what we know.
Passing on what we love.
Building spaces where dance can grow.
So it stays alive – in our culture, and in our future.
That’s what the Austrian Dance Council stands for.
We believe in dance. And we believe in you.
