SOMOS ARTE returns with enthusiasm to present the seventh edition of a gala that brings together an exquisite cast of male and female dancers, accompanied by live music performers in several pieces of the select program, which will present on the stage of the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía celebrated pas de deux from the classical repertoire and excerpts from contemporary works created by internationally renowned choreographers.

In this way, the Hortensia Herrero Foundation and the Association of Dance and Art of the Mediterranean once again join forces, the two institutions that created the SOMOS ARTE gala in 2014 with the aim of promoting dance in the Valencian Community. In addition, they reaffirm their commitment to social causes: this edition of SOMOS ARTE will donate all proceeds to the Valencian Foundation for Neurorehabilitation (FUVANE).
