The Vail Dance Festival is a beloved local tradition that is now in its 34th year. Operating under director Damian Woetzel, this year's celebration will unite world-famous dancers, musicians, composers, and choreographers for twelve terrific performances and more than 55 events in Vail and surrounding communities. 

This season, the festival will premiere its 100th commission. Over the span of the festival, Vail has been the premiere venue for many dances that have gone on to be performed around the world. The 100th premiere will be a collaboration between dancer Justin Peck and bluegrass artist Chris Thile (Punch Brothers, National Public Radio).
