The story

Kalamata Dance Cup in Kalamata

An international dance competition in Kalamata each November spanning DanceSport, contemporary, ballet, hip hop, breakdance, aerial arts, acrobatics, show dance, belly dance and Greek folk dance, drawing over 2,000 participants from more than 400 organisations across ten-plus countries under the auspices of Greece's culture and tourism ministries.

Over two thousand dancers and athletes travel to Kalamata each November for a competition covering an unusually broad span of dance disciplines under one roof, from competitive DanceSport ballroom categories through contemporary, ballet, hip hop and breakdance to aerial arts, acrobatics, show dance, belly dance and Greek folk dance.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few dance competitions anywhere combine as many distinct disciplines, ballroom DanceSport, contemporary, ballet, hip hop, breakdance, aerial arts, acrobatics, show dance, belly dance and Greek folk dance, under a single event, giving Kalamata Dance Cup unusual breadth compared to competitions specialising in one style

02

The mystery stays covered

Formal auspices from Greece's Ministry of Culture and Sports, the Greek National Tourism Organisation, the Ministry of Tourism, the Municipality of Kalamata and the Chamber of Messinia give it institutional standing well above a typical regional dance competition, and its open entry policy welcoming both amateur and professional dancers of all ages sets it apart from elite-only competitive circuits
