A week of masterclasses with acclaimed international guest teachers for dancers of all ages, from young people to older adults and professionals, in Belfast City Centre.

The festival provides a platform for the presentation of both new dance works and beloved classics by dance students and some of Northern Ireland’s finest internationally-based professional dancers, who will return home for the festival. All three performances will take place at The MAC theatre.

The festival will facilitate discussions and research sessions between dance academics, artistic directors, dance professionals and members of the audience on the topics of dance training and education and the value of youth companies.
