Workshops
Stage Behavior Culture
Performing and showcasing your talent on stage is always a very responsible and exciting aspect of any artist’s creative journey. Especially for young artists, the ability to cope with stress may be lacking.
During the master class by Valentina Au (a certified motivational speaker), you will learn:
- how to use modern relaxation techniques
- how to tune yourself before a performance
- not to fear the stage
- how to cope with stress in any situation
- to trust your talent and abilities
- to find and develop your own motivation
We are pleased to offer you a unique opportunity to participate because the master class titled “Behavioral Culture on Stage” is essential for every young artist, regardless of their experience.
Singing and Musical Instruments
We offer a master class with José Miguel Maschietto, focused on improving performance, stage presence, overcoming stage fright, and focusing on success.
Modern Choreography
Since ancient times, people have been attracted to the mysterious and fascinating culture of Africa. One of the main features of African culture is the African rhythmic dance.
Experience the fiery African dance under the guidance of choreographer Doris Martinez.
During the master class, you will become acquainted with dance art, including dance techniques and styles from the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, created based on contemporary Cuban dance.
Folk Choreography
“In music is the life of the Czechs,” said Bedřich Smetana. Indeed, music has played a key role in life and work since the earliest times.
Czech dances are unusually diverse and distinctly different from each other. Characteristics include lightness, liveliness, but also subtlety.
We invite you to the world of Czech folk dances with Libuše Králová.
Festival Venue
The competition and Gala concert will be held at Jurkovičova 10, 14900, Prague, Czech Republic.
Accompanying Program
The festival program includes not only the competition but also a rich accompanying program of workshops and excursions.
Gala Concert
A fireworks display of music, creativity, and talent! Pitagross festivals support talented youth and invite you to become part of our celebration!
