Teenagers speak with their bodies, think with their hearts, and come together through a dance that is as daring as themselves.
Sometimes, the only thing you need in order to communicate or eliminate prejudice, bullying, and fear, is a simple choreography.
Ten junior and senior highschools from Athens and Kalamata allow the power of contemporary dance to invade the school’s classrooms, gyms, corridors, and yards. Professional dancers visit these schools, share their knowledge and guide the students to create a dance performance, which they will present at the Main Stage of the Onassis Stegi.
After seven successful years, we are well aware that dance brings people together. This is why the Onassis Stegi, still drawing inspiration from the brainchild of New York's Battery Dance Company and with the perennial support of the U.S. Embassy in Athens, will keep “Dancing to Connect” – the same way 45 countries in the world do, in the framework of the titular program.
