Dies de Dansa is an international festival of contemporary dance in Urban spaces in Barcelona. The next edition will be held from 1st of July until 5th of July 2010. It is an annual cultural project created in Barcelona and is part of the GREC, Festival de Verano de Barcelona (Summer Festival of Barcelona).
During five days the buildings, parks, streets and squares of Barcelona come alive in this encounter with dance, public and urban space. The organizer are interested in promoting dance in all its different aspects, generating debate and reflection on our public spaces, personifying our cities, revaluing our cities artistic and architectural heritage, and promoting the interchange between autonomous regions and their cities.
Dance companies participate in the program of the festival and follow proposals to make specific choreographies for specific sites. The festival is an agile show of the different aspects of dance. It consists of going around different spaces and views of the cities´ architectural sites.  These are short performances which keep the attention of the public, no matter their age or background. It is its open quality that DIES DE DANSA tries to preserve year after year.
The Festival directors invite a number of dance companies to participate in this event from around the world and present their proposals. The final program is a mix of specially invited dance companies and dance companies that attend on a more regular basis.
The criteria for selection relate to the quality of the choreography, the intention to present a sample of different types of contemporary dance, the previous works of the recognized and emergent choreographers, and the relationship of each piece with the public space.
