Who We Are
BarcelonaDanceXperience was born from the international vision of OPES DANZA , the national dance branch of OPES , led with passion and enthusiasm by National Coordinator Enrico Di Prisco . Following the success of major events in Italy, such as the International Excellent Competition held during the Roma Sport Experience , OPES DANZA decided to take its inclusive, educational, and community-building spirit beyond national borders, strengthening its European profile. Thus, starting in 2023, this extraordinary international event came to life in the beautiful tourist town of Lloret de Mar , just a few kilometers from Barcelona.
For four days, dancers from over 20 countries come together to experience a unique event , filled with competitions, workshops with internationally renowned masters, celebrations and meaningful connections, all in an all-inclusive format.
