About Foligno Dance Festival
Great Dance in Foligno
The Foligno Dance Festival is an international review dedicated to dance, held in Foligno (Province of Perugia), in the heart of Umbria. Directed by Alessandro Rende and supported by the Municipality of Foligno, the festival has established itself in just a few years as one of the most qualified events for the public and industry professionals in central Italy.
Performance, Training, and Competition
The program combines evening performances with great artists, dance courses in classical, contemporary, and character dance, auditions for academies, scholarships, seminars, and awards. Stars and principal dancers from international theaters and companies perform on the stage of the Auditorium San Domenico, while young talents find opportunities for growth and comparison.
A Crossroads for Young Talents
In addition to the quality of its guests, the festival is distinguished by its focus on new generations: choreographic workshops, masterclasses with renowned choreographers, and in-depth sessions make Foligno a crossroads for those who want to build a career in dance, while also promoting the Umbrian territory as a cultural stage.
