Romanian Dance History

Let’s be honest - Romanian Dance History is very weak, be happy! (Stere Popescu on his Twitter account)

Romanian Dance History invites you to a series of events!

Following Swedish Dance History (but with a twist) Romanian Dance History does not want to be under History anymore!
Unlike Swedish Dance History, Romanian Dance History will not sell millions of copies and will not have a worldwide impact.
Romanian Dance History wants to be performed and curated!
From Stere Popescu to Postpectacle trilogy in three magical days.
From the 27th to the 29th of May, Romanian Dance History will be located on Georges Clemenceau street nr 2 (in front of the Atheneum) , in Bucharest

Be happy and be aware!
