Produced by Spazio 8 - International Dance Platform and organized in collaboration with the associations Vivarium, Dedalo Network, and Innoversa, the festival offers a unique opportunity for artists, dancers, and choreographers to perform and interact with the public.

Through a series of shows, workshops, and meetings, the festival not only celebrates dance in all its forms but also seeks to create a dialogue between artists and the community, stimulating interest and participation in this discipline. The choice to collaborate with different associations highlights the commitment to building a support network for performing arts and ensuring a diverse and high-quality program.

The initiative represents an important moment for the spread of dance culture and an opportunity for the public to approach innovative and stimulating artistic forms.

The initiative is supported by the Municipality of Taranto.
