From the organizers: In the beginning international guests were hosted only for one or two days but to our greatest delight the festival turned into a genuine international platform.

The 15th jubilee edition of L1danceFest marked the start of a new, pilot structure which proved to be a successful one and led to this year’s even more innovative “festival in festival” happening, enriched by fresh new artists.
