KIDF KEEP DANCING

Keep Dancing educational programme for school students 

In the interest of prioritizing the education of school students from the wider region of Kalamata and expanding its activities throughout the year, the Kalamata Dance Festival in collaboration with the Kalamata Municipal Dance School inaugurated in 2018-2019 the Keep Dancing educational programme. The program for this year aims to expand dancing activities addressed to the local community throughout 2025.

The program hosts seminars that take place throughout the year and aims to provide new artistic stimuli to dance students and people of all ages, adults, parents, children and other social groups coming from Kalamata and the wider region. Through this program and in collaboration with renowned dance teachers, we wish to open new spaces of inspiration, learning and creativity for the dynamic artistic community of the city.
