Livorno in Danza is part of a network of international events and competitions. Starting in 2024, OPTIMUM will be offered, an exclusive, invitation-only event reserved for the winners of the various competitions.

A showcase of authentic talent, with cash prizes and various opportunities. Special prizes, awarded at the discretion of each of the judges, include invitations to workshops (even with companies), seminars and professional courses. For teachers, invitations to support directors or choreographers during the work of the company, as teachers in seminars or workshops, as guests and to present their work on platforms dedicated to new emerging choreographers. The concept that gave life to OPTIMUM is an experiment that challenges the rules of normal competitions and that we will be delighted to experience with you. In fact, on the exclusive stage of OPTIMUM, the best performers will perform, that is, only those who have already won an international competition and have therefore already received their prize and recognition for the goodness of their technique. OPTIMUM wants to break with conventions and reward more broadly art, understood as the ability to communicate emotions and transport the public into your world, rather than good technique, which you have already demonstrated that you possess. Dance is art and, when you go to a museum, you are free to go from Renaissance paintings to futuristic ones; when you read a book you go from a romantic one to a mysterious one; when you listen to music you go from blues to rock, and so on. OPTIMUM was born to reward the ability to act, express art, involve the public and transmit emotions, whatever the style being performed. In fact, OPTIMUM it is a sort of "GOT TALENT". The jury, made up of highly experienced directors and choreographers, will be able to evaluate your performances exclusively as a wonderful art form, in its complexity and fullness.

The 3rd edition of OPTIMUM will be
Saturday 4 July 2026 in Livorno
and... the winner could be you!
