Welcome to our 11th edition of International Ballet and Contemporary Dance Competition “Domenico Modugno”.

The International Ballet and Contemporary Dance Competition, Domenico Modugno, in Lecce, Italy is the first and the only event of its kind in the area.

The main purpose of the event is to create opportunities for the young dancers to “network”, to see and to be seen by their peers, teachers, schools’ and companies’ directors, and of course, the audiences.

Connections made under such circumstances inevitably result in generous and even career, altering offers of scholarships and jobs.

Assessment of dancers cannot be complete without seeing them both on stage and in the studio. Thus, the Competition is designed to be a two-fold event comprising of a workshop and adjudicated stage performances.

The workshop is not mandatory.
However participants can book in advance their classes  (time and date to be defined – see the Workshop page).

The workshop is open only for In person participants.

Donations are welcome and greatly appreciated. Become an IBCDC donor and help us forward our mission of socio-artistical development
