Treat yourself to movement, joy, and a moment for yourself in the unique atmosphere of Trenčianske Teplice. We invite you to a dance workshop where it’s not about perfect steps, but about feeling good, enjoying the music, and sharing the experience.
Dance is a natural way to support both physical and mental health. It helps improve fitness, coordination, and balance, relieves tension, and brings new energy. At the same time, it supports memory, concentration, and overall well-being.
As part of the spa experience, we create a space where everyone can dance — regardless of age or experience. Just come, tune into the rhythm, and let yourself be carried away.
Programme: a 2.5-hour dance workshop with a 30-minute break, led by Michal Šándor, a former professional dancer.
On the Saturday May 16, 2026 the course will be held from 11AM to 2PM.
The workshop is created in collaboration with Chemnitz 2025 – European Capital of Culture and their project Dancing Neighbours.

Michal Šandor — educator, choreographer, international cultural manager and project developer
Michal Sandor graduated from the Dance Conservatory in Bratislava. As a professional dancer, he performed with the Slovak National Theatre Bratislava, Salzburger Landestheater, Staatstheater Braunschweig, Theater Bonn and Staatsoper Hannover. Since 2005, he has worked freelance in Germany as an educator and choreographer, developing various artistic projects, in Europe and in Japan. In 2017, he completed a Master’s degree in Culture and Management at Dresden International University.
Since 2020, he has been active in Chemnitz as a cultural manager and project developer. Since 2022, he has been employed by the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025, contributing to numerous international and local cultural projects. His work focuses on participatory, intergenerational and interdisciplinary formats connecting Germany, Japan, the Czech Republic and Poland.
As part of Chemnitz 2025, he founded and developed the initiative “Tanzende Nachbarn” (Dancing Neighbours) — an intergenerational dance practice that, since 2023, has continuously brought together people of different ages, especially the 50+ generation, as well as diverse social and cultural backgrounds through movement and encounter. The project has so far reached more than 20,000 audience members and participants in public spaces and cultural institutions.
In 2026, together with Japanese choreographer Yoko Ando, he will premiere “KÖRPER ZU KÖRPER / Shintai to Shintai” within the framework of Theater der Welt — one of Germany’s largest international theatre festivals — involving participants from Chemnitz and Yokohama. The project aims to establish sustainable international collaborations and to further develop “Tanzende Nachbarn” as a transferable model of cultural participation across Europe. At the same time, the initiative is conceived as a long-term cultural legacy project beyond the European Capital of Culture year.
