Bookings are open at the Mediterranean Conference Centre box office for this year’s international performance organised by Dance Council – Malta, Dance Beyond – A Pan-European Dance Meeting, which will be held on Saturday at 7.30pm and Sunday at 6.30pm at the MCC in Valletta.

Dance academies, students and teachers from Italy, Hungary, the United Kingdom and Malta will be presenting their different dance cultures through a varied programme of disciplines and choreographies.

The guest European State Dance Academies and Ballet Schools participating this year are the Hungarian Dance Academy, La Scuola di Ballo del Teatro San Carlo di Napoli, and the London Contemporary Dance School. Malta’s best dance students from 15 ballet schools will also take part in the event.

The idea behind this dance event comes from the Dance Council’s belief in the value and importance of bringing together teachers and young students from different foreign dance cultures. Dance Beyond is being held under the patronage of the Ministry for Tourism and Culture, with the support of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, and the Ministry of Finance, who are also sponsoring the performances together with others.

Special reductions apply for Dance Council members and senior citizens.
