ABOUT DARE 2 DANCE IN PUBLIC FILM FESTIVAL

Dare to Dance in Public Film Festival (D2D) is an international dance film festival devoted to celebrating and promoting the genre of screen dance. We are committed to democratizing dance - both on film and live - and being a platform for dance that happens in the public realm, outside of studios and off traditional stages. D2D presents films and live works that explore dance as an urgent, irrational, universal language, and that expand our preconceptions of what it is to be human and alive in the world today. 

D2D presents films that explore dance as an urgent, irrational, universal language,

and transform our preconceptions of what it is to be human.

Whether it’s in parking lots, super market aisles, train stations, or on city streets,

Dare to Dance in Public Film Festival is about using film to share the power of dance

as a life force that connects us as people, transcending race, religion, ethnicity,

culture, language, and socio-economic backgrounds.
