About the Festival
The Festival is an annual showcase of North Carolina dance artists that travels to five communities. Unique in the country and now a North Carolina institution, the event began in 1991 as a weekend of concerts in the UNC/Greensboro Dance Theater showcasing dance artists from across the state. The 2009-10 Festival will stop in Boone, Greensboro, Raleigh, Wilmington, and Charlotte. Eight different companies will tour, performing alongside artists local to the host communities, making the actual concerts a mix of local and statewide artists. more...

Becoming a NCDF Touring Artist

The NC Dance Festival is now soliciting applications for the 2010-11 Festival tour. The Festival goes to five communities within the state and participating artists are expected to perform the same dance at all sites. We also encourage touring artists to take part in Festival outreach programs which involve teaching classes and performing in a variety of settings in association with concert weekends. Additional pay is involved for these programs.

To apply, send a video/DVD of the dance that you would like to perform on the Festival, along with a cv and a $10 application fee to:

Greensboro NC 27403

Deadline is Feb. 7, 2010.

Artists are not eligible to tour for two years in a row. Additionally, choreographers enrolled in degree granting programs are not eligible.
