Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the specificity and history of the Lodz Ballet Festival. LBF is the oldest international dance art festival established in Poland; the first biennial took place in 1968 at the Lodz Grand Theater. The festival quickly became the largest and most prestigious ballet event in Poland and one of the best events devoted to the art of dance in Europe. The article presents and analyzes the artistic program of ŁSB, which allowed the Łódź/Polish audience to have direct contact with the most outstanding dancers, dance groups and choreographers from around the world, and thus became a unique forum for confrontation and a school of what is most valuable today: in ballet, in contemporary dance theater and in the art of expression through movement.
