This is an ambitious event, which, as the organizers hope, will receive the corresponding response, both from the participants and mainly from the theater-loving public. An event that will elevate Veria from a "lively city" to "Veria. The city that dances...". However, great interest has already been expressed, both from dance schools in the region, but also from other parts of Greece, such as Thessaloniki, Athens, Drama, Trikala, Crete, etc. while the organization has already awarded "honorary participations" to two choreographies that distinguished themselves in an International Dance Competition in Italy.
