A Day Full of Dancing

For an entire day, Peiraios 260 is devoted to dancing and the variety of experiences it can offer us. A series of events (open classes, discussions, screenings) will take over open-air and closed spaces, culminating in a dance party! Artists and audiences, young and old, can unlock different aspects of dancing which are of interest to them. An invitation open to everybody.
