dance festival

Choreography-centered cultural event

A dance festival is an organized event featuring multiple dance performances, often spanning several days.

These festivals may showcase a particular style—ballet, folk, contemporary—or celebrate dance broadly.

Some focus on competition, others on performance or education.

We're heading to the summer dance festival this weekend.
