Festa della Danza
The Festa della Danza is a special invitation to the city of Reggio Emilia.
On 16 and 17 September we will open the halls of the Fonderia to meet the dancers of Aterballetto one by one and discover with director Gigi Cristoforetti the new artistic adventures of the National Choreographic Centre.
We will experience a marathon of performances that join different languages in a spectacular way: from classical ballet to hip hop to contemporary dance. Thanks to the collaboration with Dinamico Festival, directed by Elena Burani, we will be surprised by the acrobatics of extraordinary circus artists: we will all be amazed!
Finally, we invite everyone, from children to the elderly, to take part in the dance party at the skate park in Piazzale Europa.
An opportunity to have fun and celebrate the start of the 2023/24 season together.
