From June 7-15, immerse yourself in a mesmerizing global feast of dance so diverse and evocative, it will linger in your dreams, delivering a year’s worth of artistry in just one unforgettable week.

Host organization:
The festival began in 2006 after Cyrus Khambatta, Executive Artistic Director for Khambatta Dance attended an Artistic Director Leadership training program with a grant from The Paul G. Allen Foundation and began to realize a long, stirring desire to connect audiences with dance through the festival environment. After a decade in which his own Khambatta Dance was invited to numerous international festivals, each with its own particular take on dance, he found the excitement and fervor with which audiences digested dance works to be a stimulating environment in which to create.
