The 19th Belgrade Dance Festival, sponsored by Hemofarm Foundation, was marked by the performance of 14 companies in front of almost 10,000 spectators. A total of 27 choreographic pieces, including two world premieres, were performed during 23 evenings at the 19th Belgrade Dance Festival. Under the slogan ‘We Believe in One Dance’, from mid-March to mid-April, the audience had the opportunity to see performances by companies and artists from three continents. Various works were presented, from those intended for more intimate spaces to not only artistic, but also logistically and scenically extremely demanding productions, and connoisseurs of opportunities in contemporary dance agree that the plays performed are an excellent cross-section of current research and trends on the European and world art scene. The festival opened with the performance of the famous Lines Ballet from San Francisco with the pieces Personal Element and Nitrogen by choreographer Alonzo King, whom the legendary William Forsythe called ‘one of the few ballet masters of our time’. All performances from the program, despite numerous challenges and occasional uncertainties due to objective circumstances, were performed in accordance with the announced program. In addition, after more than two years and six delays due to Covid, the audience saw a spectacular performance of the Montreal Jazz Ballet at the end of the 19th Belgrade Festival with the play ‘Dance with me’, a homage to the famous poet and one of the world's greatest songwriters Leonard Cohen. Fans of dance, who kept tickets for this performance for more than two years, watched the spectacular finale of the festival both evenings at the Serbian National Theater with enthusiasm and comments that such a masterful performance was definitely worth the wait. In its 19th chapter, the Belgrade Dance Festival brought the audience back to the halls, which is especially important at a time when many European and world festivals, as well as renowned theaters, fear a decrease in visits due to changes in audience habits during Covid. Belgrade thus remained on the map of world cultural events, and the efforts of the organizers were noticed by the foreign press. Thus, among other things, the Washington Post noted that the festival was not interrupted in the past two years during the pandemic, and Linda Shelton, director of the famous New York Joyce Theater, in an interview for this influential newspaper, praised the moves of the festival's director Aya Jung as an example of how the promoters of the dance in the world can cooperate in order to overcome the problems with the pandemic. In addition, the critic and editor of the Italian magazine specializing in dance, ‘Danza e Danza’ wrote that ‘the festival focused the attention of the entire dance industry on the Serbian capital’, and that the program was ‘a beautiful journey and interesting exploration of all kinds of modern dance and moments’. This year, the performances were attended by a large audience, 22 guests of the festival, critics and producers from abroad.
