Dear friends,
The 13th International Dance and Performing Arts Festival Akropoditi DanceFest will take place in Syros from July 9 to July 19, 2026!

This year’s festival, titled “disabilities within” gives space and voice to disabled artists, opening a dialogue through artistic theory and practice around the presence, experience, and creativity of disabled people in the performing arts.

Akropoditi DanceFest 2026 aims to explore and reflect on the inspiration, challenges, inventiveness, and artistic themes of artists, disabled or not, through a series of performances, activities, and educational workshops.

The festival workshops are addressed to professional dancers and students of dance and performing arts, as well as to anyone interested in deepening their understanding of physical expression, creative processes, and contemporary artistic practices.
