Smack Dab Dance Fest
Throughout the month, dancers, choreographers, and community members are gathering for classes and workshops led by local artists and organizations, creating opportunities to move, learn, connect, and experience the rich diversity of Wichita's dance community.
Behind the scenes, rehearsals are also underway for two newly commissioned works by Rhiannon Vieyra and Sarah Knapp. Over the coming weeks, these artists and their collaborators will be developing original performances that will premiere as part of the festival showcase.
The festival culminates on June 27 with an evening of live performance featuring companies, independent artists, and cultural organizations from across Wichita. From contemporary dance to culturally rooted forms and interdisciplinary work, the showcase celebrates the many ways dance is practiced, shared, and experienced throughout our community.
Whether you step into a class, attend a workshop, or join us for the performance, we invite you to be part of the festival. Come curious. There's still plenty of time to jump in.
