Vail International Dance Festival


The Vail International Dance Festival is an annual event in the Rocky Mountains. This year, the program will run from 27 July – 11 August 2009 in the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheatre at the Vilar Performing Arts Center under the artistic director Damian Woetzel. Woetzel was a principal dancer at the New York City Ballet for 19 years, at which time he earned a master’s in public administration from Harvard’s Kennedy School. He is most notably known now for breathing life into every performance he directs.

The gorgeous background of the mountains makes for breathtaking performances. Some noteworthy shows this summer include the new work from Christopher Wheeldon’s company, Morphoses, and dancer Savion Glover with the Miami Ballet.
