Vail International Dance Festival

Vail International Dance Festival Review

Held early in late July and early August, the annual Vail International Dance Festival hosts an unparalleled collection of ballet and modern dance groups from around the globe. The performers vary from year to year, but frequently include guest artists from the New York City Ballet, the Mark Morris Dance Group, and other world-class companies. In recent years visitors enjoyed Savion Glover of the Tony Award-winning Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk. Most performances are at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, an outdoor venue where some people sit in the seats, but many more recline on blankets on the surrounding lawn.
