Since August 2023, we have been delighted to have an additional, very special offer for young people: Together with Musik und Kunst Schulen Management Niederösterreich and the St. Pölten Music School, we are celebrating the launch of a youth dance company called STEP by STP. Young dance enthusiasts are given the opportunity to discover their creativity and develop their performing skills in a professional environment. The artistic director of STEP by STP is Olivia Hild.

Olivia Hild stepped into her role as the artistic director of STEP by STP Jugendtanzcompagnie Niederösterreich in January 2025.

Dance has the wonderful potential to make the common visible and at the same time make room for the individual. The focus will be on the joy of movement, the group and diversity. We will explore themes, listen to and challenge each other, learn new things, sweat, laugh, create, hold space for differences and move together.
