Wandering Dance Festival is a week-long community dance initiative that celebrates movement, community and culture; bringing together people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. Held throughout downtown Pittsfield, the festival highlights the diversity of dance styles, from tap and African to swing and samba. Participants can attend free workshops, learn from local dance artists, and show off their own moves on the open dance floor. The goal of this festival is to foster a sense of community and inspire connections among neighbors and strangers alike as they move to the beat of life and celebrate the universal language of dance. Wandering Dance Festival culminates in this showcase performance at the Colonial Theatre featuring a variety of professional and local dance artists. This event promises to be an unforgettable experience for the entire community.
Wandering Dance Festival is a program produced and presented by Mill Town Foundation. Mill Town Foundation is committed to ensuring that our programs are accessible to everyone in our community.
