14th February 2012
It might seem there is nothing going on around the festival but don’t get mistaken – we are already working on this year’s program! We are preparing new web pages and we have moved to Facebook. Check our Fan page www.facebook.com/festivaltos where we’ll be posting news from behind the scene about the preparations! Become our fans and stay informed! 
Another news for this year is cooperation with CAIRO! FESTIVAL organized by Mercedes Nieto in Budapest. Dancer who wins the third place in soloist category of competition attached to this festival is getting a FULL PASS with 5 workshops for free from us! And there is also possibility that she (or maybe he?) might get the chance to dance at our galashow too!

21st September 2011
The jury needs more time to decide who are winners of our competitions so the result publishing is postponed on 30th September 2011. We are sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience.
The shops on the bazaars will be:
14.10.2011 Khalida, Manja Henna, Imix, Pavlína Bádrová and Michaela Kamarádová

16th September 2011
Regarding the overfilling of some workshops, we moved workshops with Mercedes Nieto (both), Jamilah and Shereen to big hall (cca 500m2) with podium (but without mirrors – only small on walls) which is 5-10 minutes walking from ZEN. The address is Kounicova 22 (TJ Sokol Brno). As there is too many applicants for the workshops, we are trying to satisfy all of them and hope it will not complicate your attendance on the festival. New capacity after consulting with the teacher is 30 or 40 people.
All necessary information including addresses, maps and contacts will be available for downloading soon on this website. Should you have any questions, contact us on festival@festivaltance.com or terezad@festivaltance.com
