Milan is expanding its cultural landscape through new dance initiatives. The Teatro della Quattordicesima announced the inaugural ‘Dance Week’ scheduled for September 21 to 27, 2026. This event, driven by Moma Studios and Teatro della Quattordicesima, aims to connect professional performance with educational excellence through exhibitions, auditions, and live performances.

Building on this momentum, the city is also launching ‘Milano Danza,’ an initiative promoted by the Municipality and DANCEHAUSpiù to bring dance into public spaces. This broader program includes over 70 appointments, such as workshops and performances, featuring notable events like the Danae Festival, the 40th edition of the MILANoLTRE international contemporary dance festival, and Roberto Bolle’s ‘OnDance’ festival.
