CHOREA GALA 2017 – Open Air gala dedicated to the best Slovak dance artists working abroad

ABOUT THE CONCEPT

For many years, Slovakia has been producing great dancers and choreographers that are able to more than succeed on the global dance scene. Slovaks are a part of world-class dance companies, many times as soloists or first soloists and so help shaping the face of world dance. CHOREA festival pays tribute to them by inviting them to present their world-class prowess on home stage to remind Slovakia of how much it can be proud of.

Besides that, CHOREA brings modern ballet of world’s companies to give Slovakian audience a complete insight of current affairs of the dance world.
