Jacek Krawczyk is a laureate of the Theatre Award of the Marshal of Pomorskie Voivodeship 2005, and Joanna Czajkowska Sopocka Muza 2015, as creators they are interested in creating a theatre in which intellectual, visual and motor value is a fullness. They also do not get rid of emotions. There is a permanent group of dancers working with SDT, and there is a Project Group at the theatre, which is a kind of prelude to the main ensemble.

The Gdańsk School of Arts in the Contest Dance Groups associates a total of about 70 dancers. The groups specialize in jazz and contemporary dance, they have won the titles of Polish and European Champions. The main trainer, choreographer and artistic supervisor of the groups is Dorota Julkowska.
During the event, 7 soloists will be presented in 10 choreographies, and in a show of improvisation. Each choreography is a separate story, based on the technique of jazz or contemporary dancing. We will see, among others stories of one dream, a contemporary story about a red hoodhood, choreography inspired by the Lalaland musical, we will hear a fragment of Martha Graham's famous letter to Agnes de Mille.... Finally, the dancers will present themselves in an improvisation show - something natural for them. Every Dance is a discovery of ourselves.
