Burgos and New York International Choreography Contest 2024
The Burgos and New York International Choreography Contest returns for another year at the Teatro Principal de Burgos.
Each year choreographers from all over the world come together to take part in a choreography competition, organized by CIDANZ Producciones (Ballet Contemporรกneo de Burgos) and directed by choreographer, Alberto Estรฉbanez.

Russian creator, Ildar Tagirov, won the first prize. The piece, performed by Tagirov himself, used the voice of Maria Callas to create a personal and expressive performance.
As part of the final celebration, the audience enjoyed a preview of the video creation ‘El susurro del tiempo’, a work by the creator Juan de Torres that reflects the complex relationship with nature in a digitalized world.
