For the first time ever, two powerhouse events unite for one unforgettable celebration of movement, culture, and community!
On May 9, the iconic Buffalo Infringement Festival turns the spotlight entirely on the movement arts—bringing an electrifying mix of dance styles, techniques, and cultural traditions to the stage. From bold and expressive to rhythmic and refined, this is your chance to experience the full spectrum of global dance in one dynamic showcase.
And that’s not all.
We’re thrilled to partner with the 8th Annual Shimmy Mob—a worldwide dance phenomenon sponsored and led locally by Hayatidance. This powerful global event raises critical funds and awareness for survivors of domestic violence, supporting Haven House, part of Child and Family Services.
✨ Incredible performances.
🌍 Multiple cultures.
💜 One meaningful cause.
Feel the energy. Celebrate diversity. Stand in solidarity.
Join us May 9 and witness how dance can move more than just bodies—it can move a community.
