Intensive Dance Day

31 de maio de 2026 · Póvoa de Varzim

Following Express Yourself, the Be Artist Association, with the support of the Municipality, wanted to extend the stage experience through an initiative dedicated to training and artistic development: Intensive Dance Day. If young dancers have the opportunity to showcase their talent on stage one day, the following day they can return to the same venue, this time to learn, experiment and develop. Intensive Dance Day is entirely dedicated to training, giving participants the opportunity to work with internationally renowned teachers invited especially for the occasion. Throughout the day, intensive classes in different dance languages allow dancers to encounter new approaches, techniques and forms of expression. In this edition, participants trained in Lyrical and Jazz through a programme designed to provide a demanding, enriching and diverse artistic experience. The close connection between these two moments — first the stage, then the training — is precisely one of the initiative’s main aims. After experiencing a performance before an audience, the dancers return to the same venue to learn from leading professionals, transforming the inspiration of the stage into knowledge and artistic growth. Intensive Dance Day therefore offers an opportunity to strengthen training, encourage learning and bring young dancers closer to outstanding professionals, creating experiences that can shape their journey in dance. One day to perform. One day to learn. Two complementary moments designed, above all, to inspire dancers to keep growing, exploring and believing in their potential.
