Winter Extravaganza 4.0 is here — and it’s for everyone!

For the first time, Winter Extravaganza and the European Contortion Convention are joining forces to create a unique event celebrating handstands, flexibility, movement and community.

Whether you’re taking your first steps upside down, exploring flexibility, or you’re an experienced mover, you’ll find inspiring workshops, world-class coaches, and a welcoming atmosphere where everyone can learn, connect and have fun.

Train, stretch and play during the day, then unwind in the spa with the steam room, emotional showers and heated pool. Enjoy delicious food, unforgettable evening events like our legendary Not-Talent Cabaret, and finish the weekend with an epic party.

A winter escape filled with movement, laughter, new friendships and memories you’ll take home with you. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Final goodbyes

What participants say

“Training with teachers who each have their own method, and finding partners as enthusiastic as me. It’s rare to find a place that balances technical rigour with feeling safe and free of judgment. I felt I belonged.”

Veronica

“The care and humility of the teachers, the laughter, zero judgment. So much joy and so many special people. For me Extravaganza is family.”

Vivian

“The workshops, the cabaret and the closing ceremony: that emotional moment went so deep. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Gabriele

WHAT TO BRING

PARTICIPATION

The fuel of Extravaganza

Extravaganza and EUcoco are made possible by the people who are involved and actively participate in making it happen.

Each year we have an amazing team of volunteers and workers who always put their best effort and feeling in making this project so beautiful.

Also this year, at the event, we want to send a call for participation.
Each participant can contribute by choosing one 1-hour shift during the entire festival.

Extravaganza is based on Involvement, Inclusion, self-expression.

Stay tuned and keep in touch!
