Nantucket Dance Festival
The Nantucket Dance Festival is week-long celebration of dance with fundraising events that bring renowned dance and music artists from around the world to Nantucket for performance, education and cultural events. Our fundraising efforts directly support year-round dance as part of Nantucket Dance Theater's annual programming, with classes at the Boys and Girls Club of Nantucket, residencies and performances that inspire cultural appreciation in young people. Educational workshops and classes that are part of the Festival and continued throughout the year expand on how dance is integrated into the community and offer important lessons of self-awareness, physicality and artistic expression to the next generation.
The Festival includes programming that emphasizes diverse styles of dance to bring together professionals and students while creating unexpected collaborations with musicians and visual artists.
