Welcome to the 3rd Edition of Dance Festival Malta – an occasion to celebrate the medium of dance during 4 comprehensive days. Now established as the most prominent dance festival on the island, the programme presently provides to Malta-based dancers and artists to have a platform to showcase varied dance disciplines.
Once again, Dance Festival Malta will continue fostering dance students, professionals, and enthusiasts to experience quality masterclasses and workshops, as well as performances brought to us by national and international dancers.
The intention is to focus on inclusivity, diversity, and legacy. Therefore, I am very sure our mission to maintain the festival as a point of reference for Dance in Europe is being achieved and is always our utmost priority for the agency. I hope that you experience the beauty and power of movement through this festival
