Dancing on the Edge Festival – Vancouver
The Dancing on the Edge Festival, which runs July 3-12, celebrates its 20th year with a mandate to offer a sampling of B.C.’s dance talent with some national companies, too.
This year, the festival commissioned the 10 For 20 Project, 10 new works created for the festival from seven choreographers who were in the first Edge festival in 1988.
There are also dance talks, dance classes, pre- and post-show chats and Offshoots of the Edge.
