About Mori Dance Festival

The Mori Dance Festival turns Piazza Cal di Ponte, in the heart of Mori, into a massive open-air dance floor for an evening dedicated to traditional 'liscio' ballroom dancing and live music. The stage will feature the Rossella Ferrari e i Casanova orchestra, one of the most renowned bands on the national scene, joined by special guest Susanna Pepe. Between waltzes and mazurkas, the event blends local tradition, great food, and a prize raffle, creating a festive atmosphere that brings the entire Trentino town to life.

A night of ballroom dancing in the heart of Mori

The Mori Dance Festival is a dance event that enlivens Piazza Cal di Ponte, located in the historic center of Mori, in the province of Trento and the heart of the Trentino-Alto Adige region. For one night, the square transforms into a spacious open-air dance floor, where ballroom dancing and live music become the centerpiece of a celebration open to everyone, from expert dancers to those simply looking to enjoy the show and the atmosphere.

The orchestra and guests

The absolute star of the evening is the Rossella Ferrari e i Casanova orchestra, one of the most famous ballroom ensembles in Italy, known for captivating audiences with waltzes, mazurkas, polkas, and classics from the Italian dance hall tradition. They will be joined by special guest Susanna Pepe, who will open the evening with her performance. The alternation between live music and dance sets gives the entire event its rhythm.

More than just music

The Mori Dance Festival is not just a musical evening: surrounding the dance floor is a food area with culinary offerings designed to complement the festivities, along with a prize raffle that engages the public throughout the night. The result is a convivial event, suitable for families and all ages, which brings the joy of gathering in the town square back to the forefront.
