Fondazione Nazionale della Danza Aterballetto

For over 40 years, the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto has been producing quality performances, showcasing international choreographers, discovering young talent, experimenting with the hybridisation of artistic languages and promoting dance culture. Since 2022 it has been the first and only National Choreographic Centre (NCC) in Italy.

At the centre is always the Aterballetto company, now composed of 16 dancers, plus others added on individual projects. It is very involved in international tours and currently presents performances by Ohad Naharin, Johan Inger, Diego Tortelli, Philippe Kratz, Eyal Dadon, Norge Cedeño Raffo, Danièle Desnoyers, and Angelin Preljocaj. 

FND/Aterballetto aims to stimulate the dissemination of a culture of dance and its connection with other areas of contemporary society, in Italy and abroad. 

Its headquarters is the former Lombardini Motori Foundry in Reggio Emilia.
