In 2008, with the establishment of the Danz’è Oriente Occidente competition, a new section was opened dedicated to the choreography of the latest generations in Italy. In Piazza del Grano in Rovereto, for four afternoons, in front of a panel of experts and a keen and engaged audience, sixteen authors selected from over eighty candidates presented their creations in a true showcase that attested to vitality and good ideas.
