Valencia's Dansa Festival showcases Nuria Crespo's 'Morphopop' with pop hits, drawing major dance figures

The Dansa Valencia festival, a prominent Spanish dance event with a budget exceeding 400,000 euros, features 37 performances and over a hundred national and international programmers. It includes workshops, mediation projects, and extensions to towns like Aldaia and Alfafar, areas impacted by DANA. Valencia-based choreographer Nuria Crespo presented 'Morphopop,' a work set to music by Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, and Black Eyed Peas, energizing the festival. Despite a slow start, the opening by company Led Silhouette at the Teatro Principal attracted top dance officials, including new leaders from the Ministry of Culture and the director general. The week-long festival, one of Spain's longest-running, combines professional meetings and communication strategies with vibrant performances.
