Street Dance in Public Spaces of Vienna

Dear Street Dance Community,

For the first time, there is an opportunity to collect and voice the experiences, challenges, and wishes of Street Dancers in Viennas public spaces. This survey is not just for urban planning research—it is a chance to make your needs and perspectives visible and to bring them to the attention of city planners and decision-makers.

Your participation will help show how street dance shapes public spaces, what obstacles exist, and what changes could support the scene. By sharing your experiences, you contribute to a better understanding of dance in urban spaces and the approach of creating a more dance-friendly city. The results of this survey will be used to inform future city planning to improve the conditions for street dance in Vienna.

Together, we can make a difference! The survey will take about 10-12 minutes and is completely anonymous.

Thank you for participation! 

Best regards,

Stephanie
