Amman, dance festival to mark Europe Day

To mark Europe Day, the EU Delegation in Jordan is putting on 'Europe Day in Motion', a five-day festival aiming to highlight Europe's varied cultures and identities united through dance. Every night from May 9-13 the event will take place at the Hussein Cultural Centre in Amman. European and Jordanian dancers will team up for an innovative series of dance performances, while audiences will also have the opportunity to see a number of dance films, including Pina, Wim Wenders' tribute to the legendary choreographer Pina Bausch. "The European Union - Eu delegation said - celebrates in joy and respect its shared values with Jordan through dance."
