Ballet du Nord / 20th Belgrade Dance Festival
Under the slogan WE SPEAK DANCE, one of the most important European dance festivals announces its 22nd edition. From March 7th to April 15th, 2025, a total of 17 companies from 13 countries, with over 28 new choreographic works, will be presented in Belgrade, Subotica and Novi Sad. In honor of dance, famous artists and great companies will gather to open important topics that analyze contemporary society through an interesting and diverse vocabulary of movement, and create moments that have the power to change the world and trigger the most beautiful emotions. Thanks to this Festival, Belgrade has become an important spot in the biography of artists, 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. By discovering dance through its superb range, the festival has gained its audience. Since its founding, over 550 choreographic works have been presented, while every year the shows were followed by 18.000 spectators on average and around 100 accredited local and international journalists.
The manifestation was developed thanks to the support from the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia, the City of Belgrade, the City of Novi Sad, the EU Delegation in Serbia, the Embassies, and the Cultural Centers. The next edition is supported by Intesa Bank, Visa Company, DDOR Novi Sad, Nestle company, Law Firm Bojović Drašković Popović and partners, and others.
