“Arguably the best dance buffet in the Midwest” (Chicago Tribune)

Dance St. Louis closes its 57th season with the Midwest region’s most celebrated dance festival! 

Nationally touring professional companies from coast to coast flock to St. Louis to bestow their artistry.

It’s a vibrant extravaganza and unmatched buffet of dance, featuring two days of nonstop dance from a wide array of companies, including powerhouse companies, breakout stars and up-and-coming companies. 

SPRING TO DANCE offers something for everyone, from modern, ballet and contemporary to aerial, tap, hip hop, flamenco and more, with a distinct, dynamic program each night.

The festival begins at 5:30 p.m. each night in the Touhill’s Terrace Lobby with St. Louis-area community dance groups leading interactive demonstrations and performances in various dance styles. At 7:30 p.m. mainstage performances by the festival’s featured professional companies begin in the Anheuser-Busch Performance Hall.

“Successful both as a celebration of dance and as an invitation to bask in its artistry.” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

“Audiences flock to the performances—the price is right and the offerings are generous.” (Time Out Chicago)
