For the opening of the Fotografia Europea 2018 festival we organized the Grand Bal, a real outdoor dance festival involving a group performance by 200 students and amateurs of all ages from the dance schools of Reggio Emilia and surrounding areas (Liceo Coreutico Matilde di Canossa, Arcadia, Danzarte, Eidos, Let’s Dance, Progetto Danza, Studio1 Danza and Danza Lerose).

The event was designed and coordinated by Arturo Cannistrà and Valerio Longo, also with the participation of 4 percussionists from the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali A. Peri directed by their music teacher Gabriele Genta.
