From February, Rome is the stage of dance festivals: Festival Equilibrio and Festival Fuga.Two events with one aim: to spread the word about this magical form of art.

Festival Equilibrio is pointing at the exhibition of outstanding newly come dancers from all over the world like Spain, Portugal, Austria, France, Hungary, China. Impressive is the variety of expression between the choreographies: from the pure abstract and spiritual dance of the Chinese Shen Wei to the fusion between theatre and dance created by the Arab-Israeli duo Guy & Roni.

From a selection of ten dancers, the winner will be chosen on the evenings of February 20^th and 21^st where even the audience is invited to take part.

The Accademia Nazionale di Danza, the school founded in Rome by Jia Ruskaia in 1948 to train dance teachers, is proposing March 21st-28th and April 4^th the “Crashing Test”: young choreographers and musicians will test the taste (harsh play on words) of the spectators, craving for applauses on stage.

On the other hand, the Piccolo Festival di Fuga proposes a more articulated program. Besides live exhibitions, specialized books will be presented along with interviews with the most interesting names of the dance scene.

 The Auditorium Parco della Musica of Rome, the venue where the Festival Equilibrium will take place is located on Viale Pietro de Coubertin, near the Palazzetto dello Sport, off Viale Tiziano.
