The NWDF is an inspirational dance extravaganza that brings together dancers, choreographers, teachers, and artistic directors from around the state. The festival offers a full weekend of dance activities with a diverse curriculum that includes classes, workshops, seminars, and performances from participating companies. Workshops and seminars are intended to offer progressive information that broaden the dancers’ scope, experience, and knowledge of dance. The festival is designed for aspiring students and current educators seeking continuing education in the field of dance. The activities support the development of the dancer, the ongoing education of educators in the field, and the cultural development of our community.
All classes will be held at the Midtown Arts Center. We have a stellar line-up of professionals including Eugene Ballet Company faculty and other science and movement professionals in the field. We will offer three levels:
- Level One (Beg/Intermediate or EBA Ballet 4/special invite)
- Level Two (Intermediate or EBA Ballet 5)
- Level Three (Advanced or EBA Ballet 6)
Included in the package for full event or Saturday only registration is admission to the Saturday evening performance at the Hult Center’s Soreng Theater, which will feature both original works and repertoire from the classics performed by Eugene Ballet Youth and participating guest companies.
