Year 2016 was very rich for contemporary dance in the Czech Republic. Besides 22nd edition of the CZECH DANCE PLAFTORM (Festival of Czech Contemporary Dance and Movement Theatre), which presented 11 Czech works and took place in 6 venues in Prague, Tanec Praha – in cooperation with Aerowaves network – organized the international dance festival Spring Forward in the city of Pilsen, presenting 19 works of artists from the whole Europe.

The most relevant was the highest attendance of professionals in history, strong organization, good atmosphere and enough space for networking, meetings and new collaborations.  On festival CZECH DANCE PLATFROM participated other 120 presenters and on Aerowaves Spring Forward 240 presenters and writers from whole world and 90 artists from Europe.

Besides the main programme, Japanese guests were involved also in Choreographical Forum, Meet the Artists and Brunches with artists and festival guests.
