We are pleased to announce our plans for the Iowa Dance Festival 2020: On the Stage, On the Street, and On the Screen via Virtual and Drive-in Live Performances.
In times of physical separation and uncertainty, the Arts can bring us together with hope and humanity. We plan to accomplish this and maintain social distance via digital-based and Drive-In live performances. Join us online from your home and also inside your vehicle to experience a live performance. IDF2020 will provide a forum for a community of artists to collaborate and create dance through new artistic expressions. Master classes will also be offered online to advance learning, enjoyment and connection among the dance community. One class will be offered each day of the festival. |
