Beijing Dance Festival

The Beijing Dance Festival is one of the biggest celebrations of dance in China, with more than 300 dance artists, over 200 dance students, and more than 5000 audience members congregating in Beijing every summer. These participants come from cities throughout China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as across the world from North & Central America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

The Beijing Dance Festival is co-presented by BeijingDance/LDTX, Hong Kong City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC) China Dance Development and Beijing TianQiao Performing Arts Center. The annual Beijing Dance Festival began in 2008 as a one-week festivity, whose focus would alternate, from one year to the next, between international and Chinese artists. Since 2012, the Festival has combined both international and Chinese artists and expanded to its current two-week duration.

The two-week Beijing Dance Festival is composed of two parts: an Educational Week followed by a Performance Week. The educational week comprises an intensive six-day Dance Camp taught by an international faculty. The performance week comprises three performance modules: Focus, presenting full evening productions; Springboard, showcasing works that are more edgy and daring; and Youth Dance Marathon (YDM), offering an open platform designed especially for young choreographer to showcase their original works.
