Groups for Dance Schools On Stage have been selected
The Kuopio Dance Festival’s Dance Schools On Stage showcase will be held for the 14th time this summer! We received again an incredible number of applications from both Finland and abroad. STOPP ry’s executive director, Milla Malmberg, comments:
“The videos conveyed the joy of dance, the versatility of dance schools, and the diversity of performances. This year, it was particularly delightful to see performances by dancers of all ages. The age range of the dancers spanned from well under 10 years old to retirees.”
“It’s always interesting to see how different elements stand out in different years. For example, this year saw an exceptionally high number of ballet performances compared to previous years, while, unlike in many past years, there were only a few street dance performances.”
