About Laguna Dance Festival

The Laguna Dance Festival uniquely offers sensational world-class dance on a theatre stage, art galleries and site-specific outdoor venues.  Where else can an audience experience top-quality performances from international and national touring companies — and get that up-close feeling during the performances — as well as have the opportunity to meet the dancers themselves in an intimate setting!

The Laguna Dance Festival transforms the distant world of stage dance into the proximity of a living room setting, all because of it’s capacity to bring the best dancers in today’s world onto the varied and unique stage venues of Laguna Beach.
