The closing night of Trentino Danza Estate at the Cavalese Sports Hall
About Trentino Danza Estate Final Show
The grand finale of Trentino Danza Estate
The Final Show is the most anticipated moment of Trentino Danza Estate, an event that for over twenty years has transformed the Val di Fiemme into one of the nation's premier hubs for dance training. While lessons and workshops take place in Tesero, the closing night is held at the Cavalese Sports Hall, in the municipality of Cavalese, in the province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige). It is here that, after an intense week, students and teachers reunite before an audience.
A week of dance culminating on stage
Every year, Trentino Danza Estate offers intensive lessons in major dance styles—from classical to contemporary, and from hip hop to modern techniques—catered to dancers of various levels. At the end of the courses, the Final Show becomes the showcase of the work performed during the workshop: not merely a recital, but a true stage production where participants perform the choreography prepared with their teachers.
Why it's worth attending
- It is the crowning achievement of one of Trentino's longest-running dance festivals.
- It brings together all course students and professional-level instructors on stage.
- It takes place in a stunning setting, the Val di Fiemme, nestled in the Dolomites.
- It offers the public a chance to see the results of a week of intensive training live.
Cavalese and the Val di Fiemme
Cavalese is the main hub of the Val di Fiemme and has hosted the event's final night for years, while the rest of the activities are based in Tesero. The choice of the Sports Hall allows for a large audience to witness a show that unites generations of dancers and diverse choreographic disciplines into one great closing celebration.
