17th Annual SPRING TO DANCE® Festival 2025

The Midwest region’s most celebrated dance festival returns for the 17th year. Nationally touring professional companies from coast to coast flock to St. Louis to bestow their artistry. It’s an unmatched buffet of dance, featuring two days of nonstop dance from a wide array companies, including powerhouse companies, breakout stars and up-and-coming companies. Noted as one of the region’s must-see festivals – “arguably the best dance buffet in the Midwest” (Chicago Tribune) and “a celebration of dance and… an invitation to bask in its artistry” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) – the vibrant dance extravaganza brings together more than 75 dancers from across the country. From contemporary and ballet to modern and flamenco, SPRING TO DANCE® offers something for everyone with a distinct, dynamic program each night!
