SUMMARY:Las Palmas de Gran Canaria celebrates International Dance Day with exhibitions
DESCRIPTION:\nLas Palmas de Gran Canaria will celebrate International Dance Day on April 26th and 27th with different exhibitions around the city, coordinated by the actor, stage director and choreographer Mingo Ruano and Danza Las Palmas, and the unique ‘Megabar’, an element that the dancer, choreographer, and dance teacher Jacob Hernández already premiered in 2024 in Las Canteras and that, in 2025 returns with simultaneous and synchronized choreography from up to six dance schools.\nThe initiative is structured around two projects: the “Megabarra” ballet on Paseo de las Canteras, an impressive dance element that will occupy a large part of the Cícer area, next to GoFit, where, under the direction of Jacob Hernández, the steps and figures of six dance schools that have been practicing for weeks will take center stage to showcase their talent in a coordinated and synchronized manner.\nDance in motion throughout the city\nIn addition, throughout Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th, the public will be able to enjoy exhibitions in public spaces and streets throughout the city. Plaza de Las Ranas, Calle Mayor de Triana, San Telmo Park, Mesa y López Avenue, Santa Catalina Park, and Paseo de Las Canteras itself will be the scene of choreographic performances in various styles.\nThese activities, coordinated by Mingo Ruano, feature the direct involvement of students from his Danza Las Palmas project and are an invitation to rediscover urban space through body language, rhythm, and artistic expression.\nThe program anticipates the celebration of International Dance Day\nInternational Dance Day has been commemorated every April 29th since 1982, in honour of the birth of Jean-Georges Noverre, considered the father of modern ballet. In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the date is celebrated with a lively, participatory, and decentralized program.\nThe Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council, through its Department of Culture, invites the public to come and experience dance, to witness how its movements take over the city and to take part in this collective tribute.\nProgram\nSaturday, April 26\n10:30 a.m. – Manifesto Reading.
