Belgrade Dance Festival

Under the slogan We believe in one Dance the 19th Belgrade Dance Festival is ahead of us. With its program, the nineteenth edition is gathering top artists, and the topics that authors are bringing analyze modern society using the richest and most diverse vocabulary of the unique movement. The Festival is preceded by the traditional film review Dance Days in Cinematheque, choreography workshops, masterclasses, and exhibitions. Thanks to this Festival, Belgrade has become an important spot in the biography of artists who create trends in the field of dance and theater, a place where new productions are discovered, and where well-known and young authors are represented with equal attention. The actuality of the program has determined the position of the manifestation on the international map, while high standards and bold introduction of new choreographic manuscripts and aesthetics enhance the expectations of the audience and dictate the challenges of content creation. By discovering dance through its superb range, the festival has gained a large audience on its journey of nineteen years. Since its founding, over 450 choreographic realizations have been presented, while every edition’s program was followed by around 23.000 spectators and 120 accredited local and international journalists. During the last few, difficult, pandemic theater seasons, contact was maintained with numerous viewers thanks to streaming and live broadcasts of performances on the Radio Television of Serbia’s second channel. Belgrade Dance Festival’s uniqueness was once again confirmed by the fact that the announced programs were not canceled, only postponed until the conditions for realization were adequate. This is why the two previous editions became a real dance marathon spanning through the entire calendar year.
