Vancouver International Dance Festival 2025

Feel the rhythm. See the passion. Live the moment at VIDF 2025.

In 2025, the Vancouver International Dance Festival (VIDF) celebrates 25 years of presenting world-class dance with no aesthetic boundaries!

From March 5—15, with OFFSITE events happening March 2—22, VIDF 2025 transforms our beautiful city into a vibrant hub for live art, where raw, kinetic, and experimental works take centre stage.

This year’s festival features 25 performances by 14 artists/companies, with over 100 artist collaborators. We’re also offering BATTLES * BALLS * OFFSITE PARTNERSHIPS* INSTALLATIONS * WORKSHOPS * LATE NITES *

Promoting exchange between local, national and international artists who challenge norms, communicate beyond language, and reflect societal issues, VIDF 2025 will leave audiences feeling transformed.

Themes for VIDF 2025

*Women-led projects to celebrate International Women’s Day, March 8.

*Street dance on stage and on the concrete.

*Dance that features live and original music.

Dance is constantly evolving and much of this innovation is coming from beyond the margins. As artists with a history of self-producing, VIDF’s new Co-Directors Deanna Peters + Victor Tran are in relationship with artists whose work is incredibly nuanced, creative, and which often goes unseen on mainstream stages.
