Festival Testimonials

Because of the professional relationships we made at VDF, our company has secured over $40,000 in commissions that we can directly link to networking and promotional materials gathered at the festival.
Gavin Stewart, Stewart/Owen Dance (NC), Former VDF Artist

[Versatility Dance Festival] brings together people from many walks of life and builds bridges culturally, creatively, and conceptually.
Nadia Halstead, Audience Member

The festival gives us the chance to be on a program at the beautiful Dairy Arts Center, along with many other dance troupes. The event brings so many of us together – companies both new and old – allowing us to experience choreographic styles that we may never have otherwise seen. Through participating in the festival, we can reach new audiences with our work, and we are mutually inspired by the range of approaches to the art of dance.
Hannah Kahn (Hannah Kahn Dance Company, CO), Former VDF Artist
