CremonaDanza

Dance takes centre stage in Cremona

CremonaDanza is the festival that every summer dedicates the stage of the Amilcare Ponchielli Theatre to the dance schools of the Cremona area, in Lombardy. Promoted by the Amilcare Ponchielli Theatre Foundation, with the support of the Ministry of Culture, the Lombardy Region, the Cariplo Foundation, and the Municipality of Cremona, it is an event that has accompanied the growth of young Cremonese dancers for almost thirty years.

A stage for young talent

The festival offers dance school students a rare opportunity: to perform on one of the city's most prestigious historic stages. Participating schools take turns over several evenings, each presenting the performances prepared during the year. It is a moment eagerly awaited by teachers, students, and families, which sees the Ponchielli filled with a large audience.

All the languages of dance

The programme spans various choreographic forms: from classical dance to contemporary, from modern to the most innovative performance disciplines. This variety makes each evening different and allows the public to discover the richness of the educational offerings in the area, valuing the work of the schools and the passion of the young performers.

An event for the city

For the Municipality of Cremona and the Province, CremonaDanza represents a deeply rooted event, capable of combining the educational and spectacular dimensions and involving hundreds of students and their families each year in a celebration of dance that closes the Theatre Ponchielli season.
