The Landako Gunea venue in Durango will host the 16th edition of Dance Day this Saturday, with over 600 dancers participating in a full day of activities from ten in the morning until eight in the evening.

The event will kick off at 10:00 AM with children's workshops, including mask-making, face painting, and acrobatics. At eleven, a ballet barre session will precede a multitude of dance performances.
At midday, a communal meal will be offered, with proceeds going to the Koreo Dantza Elkartea collective, a solidarity initiative supporting the families of participating dancers. The afternoon program will feature bingo, modern, urban, and contemporary dance performances, and a raffle draw.

"It is an opportunity to celebrate our cultural and artistic diversity, unite people, and promote local talent."
