Athens' annual Dance Festival marks its 10th anniversary this year with a record participation of 73 dance troupes. 


The program of the festival, which opens on May 18 and runs through June 11, includes an impressive 90 choreographies and a new event, the Athens Dance Week, full of events in off-stage venues such as exhibition halls and museums.

Athens Dance Week will run from May 22 to 28, with performances in unconventional venues such as dance studios, exhibition halls, and even the Acropolis Museum, the Benaki Museum, the Museum of Islamic Art, and the Theocharakis Foundation for the Arts and Music.

A total of 475 works by up-and-coming Greek choreographers have been showcased in the Festival to date.
