Held at various venues in Ljubljana, it embraces a wide range of dance practices, from "pure" to "hybrid" forms, featuring works by established artists alongside those of emerging choreographers. The main programme includes approximately 12 selected productions, competing for the Gibanica (Moving Cake) Festival of Slovene Dance Award – one awarded by the audience and the other by an international jury. The programme is curated by an international team of dance experts and artists, who select works from more than 50 submissions.

The festival regularly attracts numerous international dance critics, festival directors, and producers.
