Dear Friends, Fans and Supporters of Dance,
Welcome to the beautiful Vail Valley and the Vail Dance Festival for
what is sure to be another exciting season! We are thrilled to have you here and incredibly appreciative of your support of this wonderful event. We hope you enjoy the exceptional artistry, newly commissioned works, educational forums and so much more that this Festival has to offer. One of my favorite aspects of the Festival is the incredible community of artists, creators, producers, educators, volunteers, dance lovers and donors (like you!) that it brings together. I am very much looking forward to all of the performances and events these next few weeks. If you see me, please stop and say hello! I sincerely hope you enjoy and share the magic of what happens here and cheers to a wonderful 2019 Festival!
