dance festivals
Choreographed community gatherings
Dance festivals are organized events, typically spanning multiple days, that bring together dancers, choreographers, and enthusiasts to celebrate dance in its various forms.
They may feature performances, competitions, workshops, and social dancing, ranging from folk and traditional styles to contemporary and experimental work.
Some focus on a single genre like ballet, salsa, or hip-hop, while others showcase diverse traditions.
We traveled to Spain for the flamenco festival.
