All admitted competitors of the International Ballet Competition Portorož–Portorose 2027 are eligible for a special 50% discount on the participation fee for selected programmes of the International Summer Ballet Camp DANCS 2027 in Portorož, Slovenia.

This intensive programme is designed to support the artistic and technical development of talented young dancers and help prepare them for professional careers, auditions, and international ballet competitions. In addition to daily ballet classes, repertoire workshops, coaching sessions, and rehearsals, participants actively prepare for full ballet productions and perform in them as part of the programme.
In 2027, participants will take part in the preparation and performance of the following ballet productions:
Participants may also perform in the two DANCS 2027 Ballet Gala Evenings, scheduled for 24 and 31 July 2027, subject to casting and the programme determined by the organisers.
The Additional Professional Training for Young Ballet Dancers concludes on 31 July 2027. The programme combines professional training, rehearsals, full ballet productions and stage-performance experience.
The Classical Ballet Masterclass runs from 19 to 31 July 2027, beginning the day after the IBC Portorož 2027 Gala Concert. Participants may attend the full programme, the first week from 19 to 24 July, or the second week from 26 to 31 July.
This prestigious programme offers high-level classical ballet training led by internationally renowned ballet teachers, pedagogues, and artists. Participants receive intensive daily instruction focused on classical ballet technique, artistry, musicality, and performance quality.
In addition to masterclasses, participants will also have the opportunity to perform in two DANCS International Ballet Gala Evenings, gaining valuable stage experience before an international audience.
