"Dance is a rebellion – a personal rebellion that releases the body, setting in motion unknown forces that lead us to happiness."
Konstantinos Rigos, Artistic Director, GNO Ballet
The Greek National Opera Ballet and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center invite you to an all-day celebration of dancing to mark International Dance Day on Sunday 21/04. Open classes of ballet, salsa, flamenco, tango, capoeira and Greek dance, battles between different kinds of dance, improvisation, lectures and performances by dance companies will be held in different SNFCC areas from early in the morning to midnight, in a daylong marathon of dance events.
The day culminates in the tripartite dance performance From Russia with Love, comprising three ballets by Igor Stravinsky, by the Greek National Opera Ballet at 18.30 at the Stavros Niarchos Hall.
Right after that follows a huge dance party in the Agora, in which everyone is invited – regardless of age, dance level and fitness.
*Introduced in 1982 by UNESCO’s International Dance Council, International Dance Day is celebrated every year on 29 April.
Sunday 21/04 | 10.00 - 00.00
Admission to all the day's activities is free, except for the scheduled performance From Russia with Love at Stavros Niarchos Hall.
More information on the events is available online at SNFCC.org and nationalopera.gr.
