The IDEA project (International Dance Events and Auditions) aims to provide a stepping stone for young dancers who aspire to make dance their profession.
Young dancers aged 16 to 25, coming from all over Italy, Europe and the rest of the world, will have the opportunity to take part in auditions and masterclasses designed to help them launch their professional dance careers.

• Develop their skills and artistic abilities through classes and masterclasses.

Multiple Auditions for National and International Dance Companies 12 Companies – 1 City
