The Dance Calendar is for performances only (live, hybrid or virtual) as well as lectures, webinars or similar presentations. Dance classes, workshops and intensives should be posted to the Dance Class Calendar and not here.

Fundraisers or any form of solicitation for donations or advertisement of other services are NOT permitted to be posted to this calendar. If your fundraiser has a performance component, you may add the performance ONLY to the calendar.

All genres of dance, movement, improvisation, dance theater, physical theater and experimental dance are welcome!

Events listed MUST be occurring on the Greater Philadelphia Region – all five counties are acceptable as well as Lehigh Valley.

Any listing that is deemed hurtful, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, or otherwise detrimental to a positive arts community will NOT be posted.

PhiladelphiaDANCE.org reserves the right to edit or delete any and all listings submitted.
