International Dance Gala

The first edition of the International Dance Gala took place at the Delia Cajelli Social Theatre in Busto Arsizio on September 20, 2025, selling out. Conceived and directed by Marco Palamone, the show featured solos, pas de deux, and choreographies with international dancers and companies, including the English National Ballet, Leipziger Ballett, Opera Națională București, Royal Danish Ballet, and The Royal Ballet. The program, accompanied by narration by Dr. Elena Palamone, addressed the real experiences of professional dancers — from being away from home to personal difficulties — and themes such as bullying and cyberbullying. The edition paid tribute to dancer Emanuele Del Celo, who passed away prematurely. Admission was free.
