About this event
Ten days of dance staged in the pedestrianised heart of Brussels, running from classical ballet through contemporary work to hip-hop battles and DJ sets. Some forty partners including La Monnaie, Bozar and the KBR Museum contribute performances, workshops, dance walks, rooftop after-parties, museum evenings and urban installations, all placed outdoors in squares rather than behind ticket desks.
Why we picked it
A large, city-backed festival that is free across the board — unusual for a programme of this scale — and it opens inside the research window.
