Ever since 1983, April 29th, the birthday of the giant of classical ballet Jean-Georges Noverre, has been World Dance Day. For many years now, the National Dance Theatre and the Hungarian Dance Artist Association have organised a gala evening to coincide with this great celebration of dance art, during which they hand out the Society’s professional prizes. The gala evening showcases a representative selection of productions by artists and creators who were prize-winners in the previous year. In... this two-part programme, prize winners from 2008 include: Zoltán Zsuráfszki jr. folk dance artist, member of the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble – “Best Male Dancer of the Season”; Dániel Szász contemporary dancer, member of the Tünet Ensemble – “Best Male Dancer of the Season”; Zsuzsa Jónás dancer, member of the Szeged Contemporary Ballet – “Best Female Dancer of the Season”; Kitti Pozsár folk dancer, member of the Duna Art Ensemble – “Best Female Dancer of the Season”, Kitti Hajszán dancer, member of the Szeged Contemporary Ballet – “Best Final Year Student”; Richárd Szabó, dancer, member of the Wiener Staatsoper Ballet – “Best Final Year Student”, Krisztián Gergye contemporary dancer, choreographer, artistic director of the Krisztián Gergye Company – “Best Creative Artist of the Season”. Continuing this tradition, in 2009 a Life Time Achievement Award will be bestowed, the prize “For Dance Art”, the Zoltán Imre Foundation Prize and the Viktor Fülöp Scholarship.
