Dancing of different kinds.
Compania Extremus Danza "Pared con Pared".
Sounds like it might be "wall-to-wall", though not according to my dictionary. Literally, it wouldn't seem to make any sense.

The name of the company should not be translated.
Just leave it that way and add "wall to wall" in brackets only if it is necessary for further information.
Otherwise do not translate it.

name & title
5 seconds of googling shows this is the name of the company followed by the title of one of their choreographies. 100% I certainly would not translate either, and if I wanted to give an indication, it is certain that "wall to wall" is NOT the meaning of the Spanish.

The piece is actually about neighbors in apartments sharing the same walls.

Discussion
The text is actually drafted in a very peculiar manner. For instance, when a choreographer or director is referred to, the production he was involved in follow his name without parentheses or any kind of apposite indication; not even punctuation. So the inverted commas suggest a parenthetical insertion.
I know it could be argued that since it is atypical of the text as a whole, it could indicate part of the title, but I am not persuaded of it, myself. The "extreme dancing" in the title, on the other hand, might well merit some kind of elucidation, not appropriate as part of the tittle, itself. (I'm sorry I appear to have responded prematurely)
