DA.TE Danza celebrates 25 years of creating, producing, and exhibiting contemporary dance, dance theater, and object theater performances aimed at children and young people, spanning from early childhood to adolescence. With 28 premieres and more than 2,700 performances, DA.TE Danza is one of the longest-running dance companies in Andalusia, with a stable and rigorous structure that has become a consolidated project that began in 1999. Since its inception, DA.TE Danza has been committed to work that prioritizes the message over aesthetics. By this, we mean that we create and produce performances that are committed to today's society, showing children and young people a story to reflect on. Among its awards and special mentions are more than a dozen recognitions that recognize the innovation and artistic quality of a team currently comprised of more than 15 people under the direction of its founder, Omar Meza, thus leaving an indelible mark on national and international heritage and the scene. All of the company's projects enjoy the stable collaboration of the National Institute of Performing Arts and Music, part of the Ministry of Culture and Sport of the Government of Spain, and the Andalusian Agency of Cultural Institutions, part of the Ministry of Culture and Historical Heritage of the Regional Government of Andalusia. Throughout its 25-year history, DA.TE Danza has promoted numerous social transformation and community mediation projects, consolidating its commitment to inclusion and cultural accessibility. Initiatives such as "Danzando Emociones," funded by the "la Caixa" Foundation's "Art For Change" program in 2003, have brought dance to young people with and without disabilities at the IES Alhambra in Granada. In addition, the company has held specific workshops for families, children, youth, teachers, seniors, people with disabilities, and prison inmates, promoting emotional development and well-being through the performing arts. These activities have not only fostered artistic expression but have also used dance as a tool for social and educational transformation, integrating the community into its work philosophy.
