20th Annual 5x5 Contemporary Dance Festival

All tickets must be purchased online prior to the event. 

The 5x5 Dance Festival brings together choreographers, performers, educators and students to study, perform and create new work. The Festival encourages an exploration of a wide spectrum of dance/movement disciplines. Artists, students and audiences share their creation and inspiration through a prerecorded virtual performance followed by a live talk back. 

The 5X5 Dance Festival, named for its focus on five professional and five collegiate ensembles, was created in 2003 as a response to a need expressed by greater Hartford dancers for opportunities to perform more sustained works. The 5X5 Dance Festival provides performance opportunities for works from company repertoires, works in progress, or works prepared exclusively for this showcase. In its 19^th year, the Festival continues to celebrate the many forms and types of dance, cultural and ethnic diversity in dance, dance that pushes traditional definitions and approaches, and dance that is inclusive in opportunities for artists and audiences.
