Centro Danza Company Blu is a meeting point for the exchange of new tendencies in dance and interdisciplinary performance.
The center promotes didactic work at a national and international level and hosts teachers and choreographers from significant European and North American schools and companies. The center tends to program classes and workshops which find a balance between technical and artistic research. It aims to stimulate dancers to acknowledge instruments and to elaborate their own methods of study and linguistic exploration, to become a filter of artistic expression.
Center Company Blu Danza was nominated as a Higher Educative Agency by the Regione Toscana in 1997.
