Kuopio Dance Festival
About Kuopio Dance Festival
The festival celebrates 50 times in . The largest and most versatile dance festival in the Nordic countries includes more than 100 international dance performances, courses, seminars and auxiliary dance. The new artistic director, Riku Lehtopolku, will lead Jorma Uotinen as a successor to the festival. All events are in the city center, within walking distance, at the brightest summers, surrounded by lakes, 400 km north of the capital.
In the 1960s, summer festivals were born in Finland as mushrooms in the rain. At that time, the idea of organizing an international event that attracted attention to the city was born in Kuopio. In 1967, Lauri Siimes, the then orchestra director of the city of Kuopio, returned to the United States for a musical and musical theater event after returning from the United States. Elisa Sylvester son, the newly elected director of the Kuopio Ballet School, took part in the idea as a theme of dance and finally ballet at the end of 1968, along with the idea of the idealist. From 6 to 14 June 1970, the first international dance festival was held in Kuopio and then called Kuopio Dancing. However, the entire 70's festival still offered the audience a powerful fan music program under the influence of Siime. The following year, the festival was renamed and the words and ring were added to the festival name. It was only in 1984 that the proportion of music remained nominal at the festivals and the festival began to concentrate almost exclusively on dance.
