The 10th Dublin Dance Festival is back with a great line up of international and Irish artists who will take to the stage and streets of the Capital.

Enabling audiences to discover inspirational artists lies at the heart of the Dublin Dance Festival mission. The best of international dance companies and choreographers are programmed alongside emerging and established artists from Ireland and around the world in a variety of venues and spaces around the city.

The festival provides a platform for Irish choreographers to develop their work in an international context, while also premiering major new Irish works and providing networking opportunities. It also allows the participants to celebrate and reflect on the popularity and position that dance has gained in Ireland.

Each year, the festival attracts many prominent, international dance promoters for whom the festival is an ideal place for discovering new talent.
