The international dance festival of Foligno
The Foligno Danza 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.
The program combines evening performances with great artists, dance masterclasses in classical, contemporary, and character dance, auditions for academies, scholarships, seminars, and awards. Étoiles and principal dancers from international theaters and companies alternate on the stage of the Auditorium San Domenico, while young talents find opportunities for growth and comparison.
In addition to the quality of its guests, the festival stands out for its attention to 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.
The sixth edition of the Foligno Danza Festival is in preparation for autumn 2026, confirming the artistic direction of Alessandro Rende. Previous editions were held between late October and early November at the Auditorium San Domenico and in the historic center of Foligno.
The precise dates and the lineup for the 2026 edition have not yet been announced. The organization has announced an ambitious project that should reproduce the established formula: performances with international étoiles and dancers, classical and contemporary dance masterclasses, auditions for academies, choreographic workshops, and awards for young talents.
The detailed program for the sixth edition will be announced on the official website. The precise dates have not yet been published at the time of writing this description.

The Auditorium San Domenico is located in the historic center of Foligno, reachable by train (Rome-Ancona line) and by car from the SS3 Flaminia.
