In Piazza Mazzini, dance schools from Jesolo and surrounding areas perform, presenting choreographies and performances of different styles and disciplines, in a grand celebration that honours the young talents of the region.
Professionals from the small screen

The presence of nationally renowned dancers and teachers makes the event an opportunity for comparison and growth for the schools and young students.
