Wandering Dance Festival

Now in its fourth year, Wandering Dance Festival returns to downtown Pittsfield for a weeklong celebration of movement, creativity, and community. Taking place November 6–14, the festival invites people of all ages and backgrounds to connect through dance with free workshops, pop-up performances, and interactive sessions led by acclaimed local and national choreographers.

This year’s festival builds on the energy and impact of past years, culminating in a dynamic showcase performance at The Colonial Theatre. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or simply moved by the rhythm of community, the Wandering Dance Festival offers a joyful, inclusive space to express, explore, and celebrate.

We’re seeking dance artists, performers, and teaching artists to lead workshops, create engaging dance experiences, and perform at the showcase. Apply below to be part of the 2026 Wandering Dance Festival!
