NC Festival Dance
Festival of North Carolina Dance
The Festival of North Carolina Dance is held on the NCSA campus, over a weekend in February, with classes for approximately 350 students from dance schools and companies across North Carolina. Classes include ballet technique, contemporary technique, pointe, jazz, hip-hop, improvisation, character, and ballet repertory. The weekend concludes with a performance at Stevens Center of adjudicated works by North Carolina dance companies selected for the performance.
Each January, Triangle Youth Ballet submits choreography for adjudication by the Festival Chair.
The last weekend in February our company takes part in the classes and educational opportunities. If our choreography is chosen, our dancers have the opportunity to present their work Sunday evening in the at UNC School of the Arts Steven’s Center.
