Detroit Institute of Arts

Dance City Festival (DCF) is an annual community building event that celebrates dance in its various forms and disciplines. Now in its fourteenth year in Detroit, and second year in Chicago and New York, DCF Detroit includes performances, master classes, and networking opportunities all held in the vibrant city of Detroit at the festival’s central venue, Detroit Institute of Arts. Our mission is to educate diverse audiences about the impact of dance, provide opportunities for artists to share their work, and create an artistic network linking Detroit, the greater US, and the world!
