Vail International Dance Festival

The Vail International Dance Festival will be held this summer, from July 27th to August 10th. There will be 3 premiers, 11 performances, 1 Artist-in-Residence, and 1 Comany residency. Venues are the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater (an outdoor venue that seats 1,260 guests covered and 1,300 outside on the hill), and the Arrabelle at Vail Square in Lionshead Village, which hosts the Village Vignettes and other off-stage events. Performances will be held against the beautiful backdrop of the Gore Mountains.

Performances include:

- World premier of Beijing Dance/LDTX, a contemporary dance performance
- Natalia Hills and Gabriel Misse, Tango superstars, present an UpClose look at their art form; U.S. premier of their new Tango show, Romper el Piso
- Artist Initiative (new for 2010!) is the Festival's first Artist-in-Residence; acclaimed choreographer and dancer Larry Keigwin will premier a new work on International Evenings of Dance, and will create a free community participation event for the Vail public

This is the perfect event to attend if you're staying at the Ritz Carlton Club Bachelor Gulch this summer!
