Dance, health and well-being
From July 3 to 6, 2025 in Girona
Girona en Moviment
Culture in service of health
Girona en Moviment (GeM) is dance, culture and solidarity! A charitable initiative that promotes the art of dance in the province of Girona and raises funds to fight cancer.
Convinced of the intrinsic link between dance and health, internationally renowned artists have been participating since 2017, united for an important cause through performances, conferences, workshops and short film competitions for all types of audiences.
An international gala, the culmination
Every year, an international gala with classical, neoclassical and contemporary dance pieces puts the finishing touch to the four days of activity, bringing together dancers from the main European companies and from other parts of the world.
Today, more than ever, GeM is a tool for social transformation and a space for free expression for everyone, without exception!

Each performance leaves the audience with the certainty of having witnessed a unique and unrepeatable experience and, above all, full of humor and agility.

HELP SUPPORT GEM
Girona en Moviment creates moments of magic every year by connecting, sharing, inspiring and, above all, helping cancer patients and their families.
TO DO THIS WE NEED EVERYONE'S COLLABORATION.
All proceeds from GeM go directly to the Fundació Oncolliga Girona, a non-profit organization that aims to improve the quality of life of those affected by cancer, as well as promote healthy habits among the general population to prevent this disease.
So what better way to support this cause than to join the mission of dance for health by making a donation?
Organization and team
A committed civil society: Culture and Health go hand in hand
David Rodriguez, dancer, choreographer and cultural manager, launched the solidarity dance initiative against cancer in 2017 that would become GeM, today an unmissable cultural and health event in the city of Girona. Since its foundation, GeM has been organized thanks to the collaboration of two entities:
The Cultura en Moviment Association , which works to revitalize the dance sector in Catalonia and understands culture as a transformative tool, for dialogue and social cohesion. It is made up of different professionals from the cultural sector who invest their time in the artistic direction, programming and production of GeM.
The Oncolliga Girona Foundation , which works to improve the quality of life of cancer patients in the province of Girona and their families, in addition to promoting healthy habits to prevent this disease. All proceeds from GeM activities go to the Oncolliga Girona Foundation. GeM would not be possible without the involvement of its professional team.
