MARCH DANCE is a new month-long contemporary dance festival,  featuring over 50 dance events in 31 days by 9 companies and 45 artists.

MARCH DANCE is a project of Independent Dance Alliance (IDA) a collaboration between Critical Path, DirtyFeet and Readymade Works who have joined forces with other companies and organisations to facilitate artists’ participation in this month-long dance festival, celebrating the culture of independent dance in Sydney.

Together they have created MARCH DANCE a place to shine the spotlight on independent dance. A remarkable collection of independent dance artists and organisations will present new works at venues across Sydney for the month of March.

In addition to performances, dancers and enthusiasts alike, have the chance to engage in workshops, classes, residencies, sharings, forums and talks throughout the month of March.

March Dance has something for everyone” says festival manager Anthea Doropoulos. “Our aim is to increase the awareness of contemporary dance in Sydney, and to share the amazing work being done by Sydney artists. NSW is the only state without a dance festival, for a city that is so vibrant and rich in culture the dance sector has been missing out

MARCH DANCE [Facebook] will take over Sydney from the 1st to 31st March 2019 and tickets are now on sale.
