Dance art itself is unique and important kind of art. Novel dance art is rather experimental, innovative form and it attracts a lot of interested in people, but it is developed insufficiently. The first attempt in this direction was aimed at the top problems of a new dance art in Ukraine (1998). Different trends in the novel dance were represented. It became an event for professionals and audience. Classically educated actors demonstrated possibility to overcome traditions. The second stage was Festival of Novel Dance (1999). New dancing groups, which activities is focused on the realization of the theatre projects, were involved in the workshops. It was the reason to show technique as well as to teach how to search own plastic methods. Master-classes given by well-known specialists were very useful. Outstanding dancers Didier Terone and Joseph Nage (France) with the balet team participated in that festival. New conceptions appear, new emotions and creative ideas are the result of that event which brought great emotional impulse.

Given project presents 6-days complex event that includes:

- author's performances and demonstration of the professional dancer skills.

- workshops, where authors present work and shares experience in choreographic art.

- conference brings together dancers, professionals from different countries with all interested in persons for the discussion of results, achievements in this field and determination of new tendencies.

The program of given action contemplates the creation of art environment, where participants and audience will be during six days. We hope that it will promote the maintenance of creative atmosphere and permanent growing interest in the novel dance art.

We do hope that the project realization will stimulate common projects and other cooperation in future.
