The 25th Anniversary Inman Park Dance Festival will celebrate its milestone anniversary with a selection of companies and dance schools from the Atlanta area. The Dance Festiva’s two free performances will take place in the historic Trolley Barn, 1015 Edgewood Avenue NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30307 on Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26 at 4:00 pm. The same family-friendly program will be presented each day, the show runs for an hour and includes short artist conversations. This year’s participating dance organizations are Ballethnic, Dance Foundry, Emory University Dance & Movement Studies Program, Full Radius Dance, Monica Hogan Danceworks, and Movement Arts Atlanta. The Dance Festival is part of the Inman Park Festival and Tour of Homes.
Like the neighborhood festival that hosts it, the Inman Park Dance Festival is unique. It is the only free admission dance festival that presents both classical ballet and modern works on the same program and pays all its participating companies. As stated so elegantly by a neighbor, “It has become an important part of festival and adds so much elegance and artistic substance. It is delightful to see children, and adults, experience performances they may otherwise never have the opportunity to see.”
Since its inaugural year, the Dance Festival has presented 51 free, open-to the public performances, welcomed 26,000+ audience members, hosted 26 different dance companies, presented the work of 63 choreographers and paid $142,250 in honorarium to participating companies. The goal of the Dance Festival is to celebrate the depth and breadth of Atlanta and Georgia’s dance community and to encourage audience to patronize presented dance organizations beyond their Festival experience.
