The History Behind the Vail Dance Festival
The Vail Dance Festival was first established in 1989 and features both performances and educational elements and has cemented Vail Valley as one of the world’s best summer dance and arts destinations.
In 1992, the performance aspect was expanded to include a 3-week residency for the Bolshoi Academy of Moscow, culminating in four performances at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater.
Then, in 1998, a choreographic element was added as it began to commission and also premiere new works at the festival. Each year a new work was commissioned, premiered and then gifted back to the participating dance company to perform.
Where Will the Vail Dance Festival Be Held?
It is held throughout the Vail Valley over a number of nights and at different venues, including the Gerald R Ford Amphitheater and Vilar Performing Arts Center.
Purchasing tickets is easy and can be done here.
