The “International Bodrum Dance Festival”, held on the last week of May, is one of the biggest dance festivals in Europe on the UNESCO cultural events list.

In 2017, 2740 dancers from 26 countries participated in the international Bodrum Dance Festival, which started as a local event in 2000, and with an ever increasing number of participants every year. 15 thousand people watched five day festival events.

The “International Bodrum Dance Festival”, organized by Bodrum Dance Club and being the biggest dance festival in Europe, has been taken on UNESCO’s list of cultural events by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Supported by the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of EU, the festival has become the only event in the history of the world with a multinational organization committee that reaches 122 volunteers from 26 different countries.

Folk dancing courses, which are located in many cities and have a very high number, are doing very successful works in order to transfer our local folk dances to future generations. We have thousands of valued trainers who provide courses for local folk dances even in kindergarten and nursery school.

Many festivals, festivals, competitions and excursions are organized for children of different age groups in our country for children’s folk dances. These activities are on the folk dance team; group awareness, team spirit, group motivation, stage experience, stage excitement.

However, the extra costs incurred by the festival and the competition regulations prevent the increase in the number of such organizations. The material and logistical dimension of an international festival in particular has become the biggest problem of festival organizers.

Our Bodrum Dance Club organization team, which has successfully performed many national and international festival organizations in our country since 2000 and has been awarded by UNESCO for 5 consecutive years and has the right to use the UNESCO Logos, decided to organize the INTERNATIONAL BODRUM FOUNDATION FESTIVAL and COMPETITION in 2019.
