Organisers have emphasised the inclusive spirit of the event. The schedule has been carefully designed to ensure accessibility, offering a range of activities that appeal to both beginners and experienced dancers.
A key highlight of this year’s edition is the focus on contemporary and Spanish dance workshops, which will take place at the Virgen del Carmen Cultural Centre. Open to students aged nine and above, the sessions will be led by acclaimed instructors Eva Mora and María Cabrera, both of whom have built successful careers on both a national and international scale after training in Torrevieja.
On Saturday evening, audiences can enjoy a performance by the Spanish Ballet of Murcia at the Municipal Theatre, under the direction of Carmen and Matilde Rubio. The show is expected to be one of the standout cultural moments of the weekend.
Sunday’s programme shifts outdoors to the Natural Pools at the Juan Aparicio Promenade, where the traditional street dance marathon will bring together 14 local academies. In a new addition for 2026, a large-scale open-air ballet barre session will invite the public to participate directly, marking an innovative step in community engagement.
The day will also feature the reading of the International Dance Day manifesto, reinforcing the event’s celebratory and reflective nature.
