Reflecting on an incredible few days at the Spring Forward Festival! 🌸
From May 6th–9th, I had the pleasure of attending this year’s Spring Forward festival organized by the Aerowaves platform. As Derida Dance Center representative I was thrilled to witness performances from the Top 20 selected artists.
A massive thank you to @rui____torrinha , @sannacott , @e_bisaro and @casarottor for the incredible hospitality.
Deep gratitude also goes to the @sofia.municipality for their long-standing support of this partnership.
What’s next? ✈️
I am currently heading from Serbia - Novi Sad! From May 12th–17th, we are preparing to welcome over 120 international guests from allnparts of the world. We will be showcasing the Top 10 companies selected by the Moving Balkans platform artistic board, along with two guest professionals from outside the region.
Stay tuned for more updates over the next days. The journey continues! 🩰✨

30 years @Aerowaves , 14th edition of Spring Forward Festival.
Day 2, in Guimaraes.
Host @rui____torrinha@derida_dance is happy to be a partner since 2012.
Special thanks to @sofia.municipality for supporting this collaboration from the very beginning.
🌞 Вълнуваме се да споделим, че през последните дни @nmlog беше част от @festivaldansavalencia – среща на над 180 професионалисти в съвременния танц и пърформанс.
Като мениджър на @movingbalkans Moving той представи мисията на платформата – да подкрепя развитието, мобилността и международната видимост на балканските артисти.
Като член на борда на @edndancenetwork , @nmlog представи и инициативата #DanceMattersEurope, насочена към по-силно присъствие на танца в европейските културни политики и финансиране.
🤓 Фестивалът събра както утвърдени, така и нови гласове в съвременния танц, отразявайки богатството и динамиката на европейската сцена.

Exactly two years ago, together with these wonderful partners, we kicked off the Moving Balkans platform- an initiative of vital importance for the Balkan countries.
Since then, Moving Balkans has continued to grow beyond expectations, clearly demonstrating the need to support the development of contemporary dance in the region and to act as a strong, reliable partner for the growth of the global contemporary dance ecosystem.
Viva Moving Balkans, here’s to many more years ahead!
Huge gratitude to all partners and supporters and specially to Creative Europe and Национален фонд „Култура“/ National Culture Fund, Bulgaria.
