En–Knap Group (EKG) was founded in 2007 by En-Knap Productions as Slovenia’s first permanent contemporary dance ensemble — the realisation of an idea Iztok Kovač had already articulated in 1998: a repertory company with dancers as long-term collaborators. Dedicated to producing fresh and engaging contemporary dance and theatre performances in collaboration with prominent choreographers and directors, En–Knap Group’s work has been shown internationally to wide critical and audience acclaim. Since 2009, the group has had its permanent rehearsal spaces at the Španski borci Culture Centre, where they present their newest works.

Established in 1961, the VAL Piran Folkloric Dance Group is one of Slovenia's leading folkloric dance troupes which has received many prizes and commendations from the Municipality of Piran-Pirano for its work. Each year the group performs widely both in Slovenia and abroad; it has been a regular guest at venues and festivals all over Europe and in Canada and is always featured prominently in the VAL Piran Association's own Mediterranean International Folklore Festival (MIFF).
