The La Concha railing will transform into the world's longest ballet barre this Sunday, April 26, for its 28th edition organized by the Gipuzkoa Professional Dancers Association, bringing together nearly 1,500 students.

As every year, the La Concha railing will cease to be an architectural element and become the epicenter of dance in Gipuzkoa. This event, organized by the Gipuzkoa Professional Dancers Association, is celebrating its 28th edition. Following last year's success, the afternoon schedule will be maintained.
There will be three different shifts, organized by age and level. The first shift, at 4:00 PM, will be for the youngest, from the Nautical Club to La Concha Café. Subsequently, at 4:45 PM, intermediate-level students will participate in the same route. Finally, at 5:30 PM, it will be the turn of the seniors, extending from the Nautical Club to the Antiguo tunnel.
In total, 1,485 students from 33 teachers across 28 dance schools will participate. These schools come from various towns in Gipuzkoa, such as Andoain, Astigarraga, Donostia, Hondarribia, Irun, Pasai Antxo, Errenteria, and Tolosa. Additionally, students from the Bizkaian towns of Ondarroa and Lekeitio will also be present.
Since its first edition in 1997, this classical barre exhibition has become an essential event and one of the most prominent activities within Dance Month. Each year, it gathers thousands of people to enjoy the beauty of dance and the students' hard work.
