About the Show

The 2026 Olympia Dance Festival features eighteen dance companies – a record number of participants for the festival!

Created in 2010, this annual festival started small with just a few groups and has grown into a competitive juried application process and performance that regularly sells out. Over 200 dancers from eighteen groups from throughout the region will participate this year. The festival features six-minute pieces showcasing an incredible variety of dance genres.
