Stage A will be an evening of virtuosic, sensual, and highly emotional works from the best of Canadian dance, including Margie Gillis, Rhonda Baker, Tony Chong Danse, and Julia Garlisi.

Stage B will be a high-energy show that offers a taste of the goings-on in the contemporary dance world, including Tentacle Tribe, Jody Oberfelder Projects, and a short series curated by Katie Ewald.

Imagination is unleashed in Exhibition Park as four choreographers from across Canada perform works that will make you laugh, cry, and dance in your seats! Programming is suitable for all ages, so bring your families for a walk in the park.

We are pleased that dancers under the age of 19 from Cadence Youth Ballet, Carousel Dance Company, Creative Children's Dance Centre Inc, Dasein Dance School, Guelph Youth Dance Company, Moree School of Dance Youth Company, Swansea School of Dance, and YMI Dancing will take the stage by storm with 8 diverse works!

Help our audience stretch their boundaries at this year’s Festival! We invite movement, health, and wellness practitioners to showcase their small businesses at the 3rd annual Dance Market, which will be held twice, in conjunction with the Saturday and Sunday In the Park performances. This guarantees a large audience of people who have been engaged and enthralled by dance, ready to sample the movement forms available in our great city. Email the office for more information. Photo by Pulse Photography.

We would also like to thank our presenting partners, Guelph Tourism and Guelph Fab 5, who have surprises in store for you at the Festival!
