West Michigan Dance Festival gathers together our local dance community through a weekend of master classes, networking events, discussions, educational panels, and performance opportunities for dance artists. Our vision is for West Michigan to have a vibrant, thriving, and supportive dance community.
This year, our festival weekend is held in Holland, MI where professional and pre professional dancers will have the opportunity to take 9 master dance classes spanning several styles of dance. Festival participants also have the opportunity for a community welcome event, a Lunch & Learn presented by Róisín (Ro) O'Brien about her reflection on different working practices in contemporary dance in Scotland and Indiana, and two performance opportunities; the first opportunity is a community dance showcase hosted by the Holland Area Arts Council and the second being a professional Choreography Concert held at the Knickerbocker Theater. The weekend will culminate with a community-welcome dance improvisation class.
