“Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself.” (Havelock Ellis) “The masters of the one-time State Ballet Institute, now the Hungarian Dance Academy, have always taught and nurtured their students in the spirit of the above idea, to the genuine delight of young dance artists and the public alike. As a result, it’s not only the dancers themselves but the watching audience that have the fo...rtune of enjoying the richness and beauty of life embodied in the dance. This richness lies in the very variety of the genre: every dance, every dancer and every individual performance is unique, an unrepeatable one-off. For exactly this reason, in our eyes every performance is a celebration. The international gala which closes a series of performances looking back on the school’s 60-year history also promises to be a unique and celebratory event. It will be a celebration of the dance masters who have passed on their knowledge and experience over the past decades, the students from across the country who will carry their torch into the future, and invited guests visiting from the larger world outside. A celebration of both inherited values and fresh experimentation: a celebration of the dance, and thus a celebration of life. Come and join us!” Dr. Mária Zórándi Jakab rector Presented by the National Dance Theatre
