A pleasing, varied programme with an attractive, up-to-date style

ITDansa, the young dance company of Barcelona's Institut del Teatre, is back at the Liceu this year with its characteristic energy and enthusiasm. It was formed in 1996 as the upshot of a teaching project and aims to help young dancers of both sexes to perfect their technique and become professionals.

Its repertory includes Twenty-eight thousand waves by Cayetano Soto and The Prom by Lorena Nogal, a former member of the troupe. The third work, Lo que no se ve by Gustavo Ramírez, was created exclusively for IT Dansa in 2021, while the fourth, Kaash, is by the much acclaimed Akram Khan.

This pleasing, varied programme with an attractive, up-to-date style would turn anyone into a dance-lover.

Recommended for ages 10 and up
